Donald Trump loves to brag that he’s a tough guy. He’s had to fight in the competitive world of New York real estate where businessmen can be crushed under a mountain of debt and see their fortunes reversed overnight with one bad deal.
But big bad Donnie just told our British allies that he won’t be visiting later this year because he’s afraid there might be “large-scale protests” while he’s there.
OK, the time has come to say this: Donald J. Trump is a freaking wimp.
Trump, according to the Guardian, informed British Prime Minister Theresa May unless and until he has the full support of the British public, something the May just discovered she doesn’t even have.
The Guardian also reports that President Trump broke the news to PM May in a phone call, telling her he won’t make the state visit if there are going to be mass protests against him. May was said to be surprised by the sudden cancellation.
All of this comes just a week after the president made disparaging comments about the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, accusing Khan of taking the London Bridge terror attack too lightly. Specifically, Trump tweeted out:
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

As it turns out, what Mayor Khan had actually said was this:
“Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There’s no reason to be alarmed.”
So now we have the president upsetting our NATO allies when he met with them, attacking the mayor of a city which had just experienced a terrorist attack, and now refusing to travel to the UK because he’s too delicate to stand up to protesters. This man is a leader?
It becomes clearer with each day, each tweet, each lie, and every broken promise, that Donald Trump is unfit to serve in any capacity at all. This man is simply pathetic.
UPDATE: Both the White House and the Office of the Prime Minister now insist that Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom has not been canceled or postponed:
White House spokesman Raj Shah: "The President has tremendous respect for Prime Minister May. That subject never came up on the call." https://t.co/IOfT4oDMFZ

Looks like time will tell if Trump will actually make his visit as originally planned.
