The Queen and her presidents

The Queen has met almost every US president since her reign began in 1952, with the sole exception of Lyndon B. Johnson, who didn't visit Britain during his time in office.

Trump follows in the footsteps of previous Presidents to visit Windsor Castle, including Ronald Reagan in 1982, George W. Bush in 2008, and Barack Obama in 2016.

Windsor Castle holds a special significance for the royal family. The oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, it's one of Queen Elizabeth II's official residences. It's also said to be one of her favorite weekend destinations.

Windsor Castle was also the venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lavish royal wedding in May.

Ronald Reagan was the first US president to stay overnight at castle, and he made quite a splash. Reagan and the Queen went horseback riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle, while Prince Philip and first lady Nancy Reagan rode in a horse-drawn carriage.

He should publicly ask her how many of Obama’s speeches did she listen to on that iPod

I'm looking forward to this. I am sure that Trump's mother, originally from Scotland and who loved the Queen, would have been over joyed at the idea of her son meeting the Queen for tea. Will be interesting to see the photos and hear the commentary.

Please post photos or anything that's published on the visit today. Don't know the time, but I imagine it will be soon.

Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!

The Queen has always preferred Conservative leaders... Socialism isn’t her style, so she will get along fine with the Donald.

I don’t have much use for the British royal family, but I wish the Queen many more years of good health, just so the UK can be spared the humiliation of having a human tampon as a monarch.

Donald Trump: The Queen is a 'tremendous woman'

He said with a wink and a nod! ;)

Trump just told Jim Acosta (CNN) can’t get a question, as CNN is “fake news.”

I sometimes get the feeling that the world has become the next incarnation of “The Apprentice,” with his continued choice of words. It has to drive liberals and NeverTrumpers (I know, I repeat myself) absolutely insane.

I LOVE IT!

She is a symbol of the former greatness of the UK. When she is no longer queen, the either charles or william will become king. They will give in to the muzzies in a heartbeat.

She’s a swamp globalist, too, not an innocent.

Big difference here is she may ask PDJT for some DVDs of his speeches.

Obama gave her copies where likely she pitched them in the trash.

No bowing before the queen from the POTUS and FLOTUS!! How utterly refreshing. Antithetical to Obozo who couldn’t wait to lick the boots of lesser monarchs.
