Queen to send Prince Philip to pick up Donald Trump from the airport

Mr Trump will make his first official state visit to the UK in June, staying with Her Majesty, having talks at Downing Street and taking part in D-Day commemorations (so long as it’s not raining).

It has been revealed that the Queen has a cunning plan to keep Mr Trump occupied – sending her husband out in his Range Rover to pick the President up from Heathrow.

A Royal insider said: “Her Majesty was furious when Philip overturned his car near Sandringham after colliding with a common person in a Kia earlier this year.

“She ordered Philip, 96, to stay off the road, much to his disgust. But news that Mr Trump is arriving has given her a change of heart.

“Now she wants Philip to drive round and pick him up.

“She’s claiming this will make Mr Trump feel welcome, but the Royal household can’t help wondering that she has an ulterior motive.”

Royal watchers will be keen to see how Her Majesty and Mr Trump get along after some curious body language when he dropped by last summer on an official (but not state) visit.

He loves his Range Rovers until his most recent crash. He almost killed some people. He was made to surrender his license shortly after that incident, but not before ordering a new Range Rover.

This is posted in the Humor forum. I found it from the main page so I’m guessing you did too and missed what forum it was under. It happens.

....and the treatment of people at the border, she need to cancel this trip.

He dodged the draft. He wants to leave NATO. How can he be invited to the D-day Parade? This normalized every racist, sleazy, obviously corrupt thing about him.

I'm appalled at her.

Sending Philip makes it extra cozy and en famille. It's a compliment.

She's elevating a MAGA-T!

Do believe this might have been intended as humor. (I enjoyed it!)
The clue was in the Topic line ...
Those doggone Englishmen and that wry wit. Always catching Yanks off guard.
