Folks in the UK don’t want a racist blow hard visiting their country.. accept for Blackie, btw what happen to Blackie, what rock did he crawl under?
Actually I think the real reason was his support for a UK Racist and Trump’s re-tweet of an anti-Muslim statement

Yeah I can see that.. like his hissy fit that Obama’s was bigger
First Orange President vs First Black President
Every day Trump does something new that makes Obama and every potus that preceded him look better.
George Bush looks like a statesman next to this sham wow salesman.
Hey! I have an idea! Let's make a reality TV star the potus! What could possibly go wrong?

Cognit ergo sum. Danbones doesn't think therefore he isn't. He's just a bot regurgitating propaganda.
It's the only thing that makes sense. Why do his posts have so little to do with the topic he's replying to? Because he's a bot. You input Trump criticism and program in his idiot brain searches keywords and randomly selects something negative about Democrats.
See in this thread the program failed to find anything actually related to London or the UK so it just spat out something with the word Obama in it and then patted itself on the back.
Every time you post something negative about Trump, just reply with "Clinton collar mustard stain" and you've pre-empted the Danbones contribution.
The Alt Left of Britain was likely salivating to get out its big protests in opposition to Trump. I'm sure they are quite disappointed Trump did not give them the opportunity for a day of self righteous ranting.

Maybe, his handlers were quietly told behind closed doors that there was "no room at the inn" for Trump in the UK at the current time..
Besides, it's hard to get locally grown rotting produce in January.
He's not a coward at all. He was a hero in Vietnam! Or would have been, except for those darn bone spurs.
Well at least he trained in the military, that than you can say for the London mayor, but he's a Muslim, so I guess it was expected.
Kinda ironic that Khan does not want Trump in London, but he thinks Trump should let in Muslims into the US. But like I said above, Khan is a stupid Muslim.
Trump is just too stupid to realize that truth.
By the way, where are the forum right wingers - why are they giving him a free pass rather than criticize him as they should be doing?
He's the greatest war hero that never fought.
He's HUUGE!!
When Trump's country needed his military school training, the selfish prick took a powder. You think that it's a GOOD thing? Sign up for service of any kind, yet?
Where were they when the likes of Xi Jinping and King Abdullah had State Visits to Britain in recent years? They were nowhere to be seen.
Still, I look forward to Mr Trump's State Visit to Great Britain.
The British Left's embarrassing protests about Trump's State Visit compare badly to the French, who rolled out the red carpet for him...

Britain’s epic vanity: do we really think Trump cares that much about coming here?

Boris Johnson is absolutely right to say that his successor as London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has behaved like a ‘puffed up pompous popinjay’ about Donald Trump’s cancelled visit to Britain. And they aren’t the only ones. The whole ‘Trump visit’ story has become an embarrassing mass exercise in British grandstanding.
In fact, if you want a perfect example of British delusional thinking look not at Brexit, look instead at the way we have handled the prospect President Donald J Trump’s arrival on our shores. Nothing better illustrates our sense of self-importance, our priggishness, and our ability to convince ourselves of rubbish if it makes us feel good.
Long before Trump was the Republican nominee, our Parliament had a full debate about banning him from our shores because he had said right-wing things we deemed unacceptable. MPs actually discussed whether Trump was such a threat to British values that he should be blocked from entry or whether he should be taken to a curry house in order to show what a wonderfully diverse country we are
Then, after Trump shocked the world by becoming president, the idea of his UK visit turned into a bigger controversy — here, at least. Theresa May was called an ‘appeaser’ for inviting our most powerful ally to visit Britain. There were protests about the very idea of Trump being treated as a dignitary; stuffy monarchists fretted that he might say something inappropriate to the Queen.
Whitehall, fearing violence on the streets, drew up plans for a ‘dummy run’ — a low-key flying visit to test the waters of public opinion towards Trump. Trump would see the Prime Minister but not stay the night in Buckingham Palace. Nobody seemed to think about whether the President of America (and especially the current one) might not be willing to be treated like a bad smell, or even that it was worth his while visiting Britain more than once.
Meanwhile, our rivals on the global stage had no such frets. President Macron, the French president who was elected largely because he presented himself as an anti-Trump, promptly rolled out the reddest of carpets to welcome Trump to Paris on Bastille Day. The French did not really protest; thousands came out and waved flags and cheered. French magazines talked up how glamorous Melania Trump looked. Nobody called Macron an appeaser.
Then, late last year, Trump wounded British pride by retweeting anti-Muslim Britain First videos. This stupid act forced Theresa May to rebuke him — she could hardly have ignored it given the outcry. The left immediately went further, again demanding the cancellation of Trump’s visit, the rescinding of the invite. People like Owen Jones essentially threatened political violence (although I doubt Owen himself would do anything too rough) if Trump turned up.
Well, it worked. Trump has now cancelled the visit, citing concerns about objections raised to the moving of the US embassy in London. Everybody knows it’s really because of all the fuss and fury that he would generate. As Khan said, so self-satisfied, Trump has ‘got the message.’
That is, the American Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful man on the planet, reckons, in as much as he thinks of us at all, that Britain is probably too unfriendly a place for him. The trouble is, while our transatlantic friendship, the so-called special relationship, matters to us quite a lot, especially with Brexit looming, it is considerably less important to the US. No doubt Trump would greatly enjoy being treated like a king by the queen — he’s spoken warmly about the ‘pomp and circumstance’ of British public life and about what an avid monarchist his Scottish mother was. But he has rather bigger matters on his plate. Indeed the obvious feebleness of Trump’s excuse for not coming suggests that Great Britain is fairly low on his list of his priorities. Yet the left and Twittersphere are crowing as if they have resisted a determined enemy and defended Britain’s honour. What a silly, vain people we are!

Later this year, the world will laugh at Britain after it welcomes the Saudi Crown Prince - just after the protests about Trump's visit....
PETER OBORNE: Labour's hostility to Trump is hypocritical... their governments have given the red carpet treatment to far worse monsters in the past
By Peter Oborne For The Daily Mail
13 January 2018
Donald Trump has been a godsend to the Left, considering its historic hatred of America, says Peter Oborne
Donald Trump has been a godsend to the Left, considering its historic hatred of America. With his exhibitionist wealth, vulgarity, misogyny and racist views, he personifies what they see as the country’s worst values.
Now, his decision to pull out of his expected visit to Britain has given Labour a reason to celebrate.
Not just because their bogeyman won’t defile this country’s streets, but because the issue has brought together the two sides of the Labour Party who have been waging a vicious civil war ever since Jeremy Corbyn became leader in 2015.
Yesterday, after the Mail’s Jack Doyle revealed Trump’s decision, a truce occurred between the rival Blairites and Corbynistas.
For, between them, they claimed credit for having led vociferous opposition to his planned ‘working visit’, which reportedly led Trump to be concerned that demonstrations might be disruptive.
At first sight, it is easy to sympathise with Labour’s exultation.
Trump is a narcissistic and absurd figure. He is a racist, who retweeted videos posted by Britain First, a fascist organisation that all decent people condemn.
This week, he allegedly described immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and Africa as coming from ‘s***hole countries’ — an utterly unacceptable comment from anyone, let alone the President of the United States of America.
Yet I believe that Labour’s hysterical opposition to Trump’s visit here is equally contemptible.
Crucially, Trump is head of state of the most powerful nation in the world, which also happens to be our closest and most valued ally.
Last summer, France’s President Emmanuel Macron hosted Trump. For all his liberal credentials, Macron recognised that this was in the French national interest.
In 1973, the British government hosted President Mobutu of Zaire, a homicidal dictator who embezzled up to £12 billion (left). Two years ago they hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping
For their part, the notoriously volatile French people understood this and the visit passed with virtually no trouble at all.
The truth is that Labour’s hostility to Trump is hypocritical.
Over the years — including under Labour governments — far worse monsters have been given the red-carpet treatment.
The Labour leader wore white tie and tails to attend a state banquet in President Xi's honour at Buckingham Palace
For example, in 1973, President Mobutu of Zaire, a homicidal dictator who embezzled up to £12 billion; in 1978, Romania’s Communist head of state Nicolae Ceausescu, who was later executed by a firing squad following protests about his brutal regime; and, in 1994, the abominable president Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Two years ago, it was the turn of President Xi Jinping of China — the ruler of a one-party state where dissidents are jailed, torture is normal and citizens are spied on.
Compared with Xi Jinping, Trump is a hand-wringing liberal.
Yet when the Chinese leader came to London, there were no mass street protests and Jeremy Corbyn wore white tie and tails to attend a state banquet in his honour at Buckingham Palace.
The Labour leader said he would raise human rights issues in private. Why couldn’t he have tried to make a similar arrangement with Trump?
The fact is that realpolitik dictates that Britain needs a warm relationship with China. British jobs depend on it.
In a few months’ time, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will visit Britain. However appalling Trump’s behaviour, it pales into insignificance compared with that of the architect of the Saudis’ attack on the Yemen which has claimed more than 10,000 lives and led to mass starvation.
US President Donald Trump holds hands with British Prime Minister Theresa May as they walk the colonade of the White House in Washington DC last January, Trump has cancelled his trip to London
But, yet again, I recognise that British jobs depend on good relations with Saudi Arabia and understand why the Crown Prince should come to this country as an honoured guest.
There was also the visit two years ago of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He had lunch with the Queen and a warm meeting with then PM David Cameron. And yet Modi had blood on his hands for having failed to stop anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat in which at least 1,000 people died.
Again, his state visit was justified because Britain needs strong trading relations with India, which is expected soon to overtake Britain and France to become the world’s fifth-largest economy. Of all people, London’s Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan, a Muslim, should have opposed Modi’s visit to Britain on account of his role in the Gujarat riots.
Yet Khan said he was against a ban — and himself visited Modi’s India last year.
Typical of Labour’s double standards, Khan revelled yesterday in the news of Trump’s cancelled visit.
A persistent critic of Trump, he first crossed swords with him last year after the London Bridge terrorist attack when the U.S. president mocked Khan’s comments that there was ‘no reason to be alarmed’ by armed police on the streets. Khan hit back by calling Trump ‘ill-informed’.
Wallowing in smug self-congratulation, Khan said yesterday that Trump’s ‘policies and actions are the polar opposite of our city’s values of inclusion, diversity and tolerance’.
Also guilty of self-satisfied sanctimony is failed ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband.
In a few months’ time, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will visit Britain
Two years ago, he welcomed Modi’s visit. ‘I care very much about my relationship with India and my relationship with Prime Minister Modi, so I absolutely think that [Mr Modi’s visit] is a policy priority for me,’ he said beforehand.
Yesterday, he grandstanded his opposition to Trump. Retweeting Trump’s explanation that his cancellation was because he disapproved of the bad commercial deal behind the new U.S. embassy in London, Miliband taunted: ‘Nope it’s because nobody wanted you to come. And you got the message.’
What these Labour pygmies don’t seem to realise is that Britain’s relationship with America helps bring jobs, prosperity and security to this country.
This is especially true of London — Sadiq Khan’s fiefdom. The City’s remarkable recent prosperity, in particular, is largely down to the presence of major American financial institutions.
Khan’s attacks on Trump are a classic example of virtue signalling. They ingratiate him to the Left and help burnish his credentials for a possible future bid to become Labour leader.
But, like his fellow Labour Trump-haters, he’s showing contempt for those Britons whose livelihoods depend on a healthy economy and whose safety depends on shared intelligence-gathering with the Pentagon.
p.s. Trump wants to go to Britain as it will be an ideal photo op to showcase his greatness as THE World leader. He will grant an audience with the Queen if he wishes to. If she doesn't show up, well more the pity on her for missing her opportunity at true greatness.
