Waste of money that Trumps all
WHAT a waste of money, it cost over £14million to police Donald Trump’s pointless visit to the UK which seemed more like a jolly for him.
The Queen and Theresa May gave up special time to celebrate with a meal, and whet his appetite for another course at Trump Turnberry, where he could play his own game!
The mammoth amount of money for police and outside colleagues could have been used to constructively help disadvantaged and homeless people at the likes of food banks and people’s kitchens in the city, and their equivalents throughout the country.
I’ve never admired Trump, who I put in the same bracket as Boris Johnson, both are publicity-seeking egotistical buffoons, who stage manage themselves at every glimpse of a camera.
Trump’s PR manager must work overtime to ensure he is
in prime position for his pretty pictures together with tie straightened and Windsor knot.
Both Trump and Johnson can’t be the idiots they often appear, and must have more than a modicum of commonsense, with the latter graduating from university, and alternating the front and back benches at Westminster.
If it also costs poorer countries an arm and a leg to provide security for these supposed foreign dignitaries, I’d rather they stayed at home.
I’ve always been at a loss why so many millions voted for Trump in the first place, though the US elections appear more like a rugby scrum while looking for conversions, and trying to make their mark!
Maybe Trump can’t help himself as a joker in the pack, but I’d rather he remained with his congressional cronies and Johnson asleep on his leatherbacked seat with the lords.
No doubt when £14m worth of police paraded in Windsor and Whitehall they may have safeguarded canopies and cocktails at Chequers, but drug dealers, thieves, rapists and robbers continued to run riot.
No Mr Trump, you’re not an asset but a worthless liability, whose actions should be limited, and you should remain in the White House until sanity goes with the slips into the ballot box.
Hopefully, Donald you’ll duck the next election, and get your cards, but it may take more than one Trump!
