Trump’s trip to the UK was never going to be an entirely comfortable one. He’s widely loathed in the country,club e11even new years eve and only
21 percent of Brits
hold a positive opinion of him. The nation is still in the midst of the long-running crisis that is Brexit, and after
Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation
, will soon see its second PM in three years. And to top it all off, Trump decided to mouth off about his host country’s royals just days before his state visit commences. In an interview with
The Sun
, President Trump called Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle “
nasty
."
During the interview, a
Sun
reporter raised comments Markle made about Trump in 2016. She'd described him as “misogynistic” and deemed his politics “divisive,” which is no worse than what his good golf buddy Lindsey Graham
said during the election
. But when told of Markle's remarks, Trump replied, “I didn’t know that she was nasty.” He seemed quick to forgive the Duchess, however,
later saying
he “thinks it’s nice” to have an American princess and that he's "sure she will do excellently."
Trump’s three-day state visit commences on June 3rd, and his
itinerary
includes attending a meeting with departing Prime Minister May and a D-Day celebration. Though Trump isn’t scheduled to meet with Markle herself as she’s still on maternity leave after giving birth
earlier this month
, he will meet with other prominent royals, inducing Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William and Duchess Kate, and Markle’s husband, Prince Harry.
In the
Sun
interview, Trump also broke with the convention against foreign leaders taking sides in allied nations' internal political fights.
He backed Brexiteer Boris Johnson
, former Mayor of London and UK Foreign Minister, to replace May as Prime minister.
Business Insider
summarized
Johnson’s long history of racist, homophobic, and generally controversial incidents as including "calling gay men 'tank-topped bumboys,' reciting colonial poetry in Burma, and rugby-tackling a 10-year-old child."

Even before his impolitic remarks, the president’s trip was cause for controversy in the UK. Trump’s 2018 working visit to the nation was greeted with large-scale protests as more than
100,000 took to the streets of London
to protest his arrival. A campaign urged Brits to purchase or stream Green Day’s 2004 hit "American Idiot" ahead of Trump’s arrival, an effort that eventually saw the fourteen-year-old song re-entering the UK charts.
Ahead of the latest visit, London mayor Sadiq Khan, with whom Trump has
publicly feuded
, said that the US president
shouldn’t be awarded the pomp of a state visit
. And Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has
declined his invitation
to Trump’s state dinner next week. "Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honour a president who rips up vital international treaties," said Corbyn, "backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric."
