It does not matter a damn what you think about this tango-hued President

THE President of the United States is coming to our country to honour the memory of the generation of young Americans who paid for our freedom with their blood. And an army of soft-bellied, virtue-signalling socialists are getting ready to jeer him to the rafters.
Donald Trump will be in the UK from June 3 to 5. On June 6 he will be in Normandy with other world leaders to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the great turning point in the greatest conflict of human history.
This is not about Trump - we owe a debt that can never be repaid to the generation who paid the ultimate price to keep us free, writes Tony Parsons
When Trump is in the UK he will face a barrage of bile, protest and abuse largely orchestrated by Labour politicians keen to rub their haloes in your face.
Jeremy Corbyn, who has spent a lifetime proudly licking the shoes of terrorists in Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRA, will boycott a state banquet in Trump’s honour because of what he calls the President’s “racist and misogynistic rhetoric”.
Oh, the bitter irony that this grand gesture comes from a Labour leader who has seen virulent Jew-baiting racism infect the Labour Party!
London Mayor Sadiq Khan says Trump represents “the polar opposite of our city’s values of inclusion, diversity and tolerance”.
No — what Trump will be representing in June are the American servicemen who fought by our side against Nazi Germany.
David Lammy calls Trump “deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic.” But would Labour’s loon be quite so free to rant and rave if we had lost the war against Fascism?
Emily Thornberry says it “beggars belief” that Trump will get a full state visit in June, although Labour was quite happy to extend exactly that same honour to ex-KGB hardman Vladimir Putin.
This is not hypocrisy. It is pig ignorance. The freedoms we take for granted were paid for by the generation that faced down tyranny more than 70 years ago.
DONALD TRUMP IS HERE TO REMEMBER D-DAY.
Spit on him and you spit on the glorious dead.
Emily Thornberry says Donald Trump's state visit to Britain will be a 'giant waste of taxpayers' money' at PMQs
'SHOW SOME BLOODY RESPECT'
When those preening Labour members wave their tiny fists at Trump, they are disrespecting the generation of young men who gave everything so Europe could be free.
It is worth remembering the staggering human cost of D-Day. 10,000 Allied dead on D-Day itself, including 6,603 Americans.
Thousands more would die in the battle to break out of Normandy.
I carry no candle for Donald Trump. The irony of seeing him stand to attention on those historic beaches is that Donald had every chance to fight for his country in Vietnam but decided to stay home in Manhattan, doing his hair. But this is not about Trump.
'WE OWE DEBT THAT CAN NEVER BE REPAID'
It does not matter a damn what you think about this tango-hued President. We owe a debt that can never be repaid to the generation who paid the ultimate price to keep us free.
America is our oldest and our most important ally. That relationship is under strain today, with Trump bitterly repeating his claims that British intelligence spied on him to help his rivals during his presidential campaign.
But the special relationship is real and will long outlive the political pygmies who cavort on the world stage today. That bond was forged in the fire of World War Two and the sacrifice of a generation. The American President is coming to Europe to honour the boys who fought on those beaches 75 years ago.
So
David Lammy — stop polishing your halo for five minutes and consider all you owe to the greatest generation. Sadiq Khan — refrain from flying your puerile Trump balloon and try to imagine the human cost of D-Day.
Emily Thornberry — please visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha beach, and reflect upon the 9,388 graves of the young Americans who died setting Europe free.
AND SHOW SOME BLOODY RESPECT.
