Hello 'Pussy' it's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Pippi Longstocking:
Over
the past week, you have expressed increasing skepticism to aides
about the trip after coming under intense criticism for a misleading
charge that you leveled against London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan. A day after
terrorists killed eight people in the British capital, you went after Mr. Khan on Twitter, saying the mayor had played down the danger to citizens in the wake of the assault.
Betty MacDonald fan club fans,
The International Betty MacDonald fan club events are outstanding.
I met many wonderful Betty MacDonald fan club fans there.
The last Betty MacDonald fan club event in London was unforgettable.
My favourite city for next International Betty MacDonald fan club event is Prague.
Prague is one the most beautiful cities you can imagine and you can meet so many Betty MacDonald fans there.
I'm a devoted fan of beloved Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli and I'm very happy our hero is back.

BRANCHBURG,
N.J. — President Trump is considering scrapping or postponing a planned
visit to Britain this year amid a billowing backlash over comments he
made after the recent terrorist attack in London, two administration officials said.
Over
the past week, Mr. Trump has expressed increasing skepticism to aides
about the trip after coming under intense criticism for a misleading
charge that he leveled against London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan. A day after
terrorists killed eight people in the British capital, Mr. Trump went after Mr. Khan on Twitter, saying the mayor had played down the danger to citizens in the wake of the assault.
The
White House briefly considered including the visit as part of a trip to
Europe next month, but the idea was dropped because of scheduling
issues. Then it was tentatively penciled in for the fall. National
Security Council and State Department officials were working on the
details but had not undertaken the usual “preadvance” trip to work out
the specific logistics of joint appearances, said a person familiar with
the situation.
Mr.
Trump, who was visiting his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., over the
weekend, has not definitively ruled out going, the officials said. They
emphasized that it was possible that the president would eventually warm
to the idea, and that keeping it off the schedule was the best way to
prepare for any eventuality.
But
he has told his staff that he wants to avoid a marathon overseas trip
like his nine-day trek to the Middle East and Europe, which he found
exhausting and overly long.
One
other factor leading to his reluctance, said one of the officials, is
his preference for having foreign leaders visit him — not the other way
around.
But
optics and politics are major considerations, too. Mr. Trump is deeply
unpopular in Britain, and any visit by him — let alone a state visit
with all its pomp — would probably be met with wide-scale protests.
Recent polls have found that more than half of the British public views
Mr. Trump as a threat to global stability.
At
the same time, his poll numbers at home are hitting historic lows. The
president has avoided trips to his home in New York City, in part
because of the potential for disruptions, several people in his orbit
have said.
Mr. Trump has discussed the potential difficulties of a trip to Britain with Prime Minister Theresa May, who had a stunning setback in parliamentary elections on Thursday, although the subject of a visit was not raised when they spoke on the phone last week, the officials said.
“The
president has tremendous respect for Prime Minister May,” said Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump. “That subject never came
up on the call.”
Mrs. May’s office, responding to a report in The Guardian
that Mr. Trump did not want to visit Britain until he had more public
support, issued a statement on Sunday saying there had been “no change”
to plans for a state visit.
“We
aren’t going to comment on speculation about the contents of private
phone conversations,” a spokeswoman for Mrs. May’s office said. “The
queen extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the U.K., and
there is no change to those plans.” Mrs. May extended the invitation to
the president around the time of his inauguration.
A
postponement of the visit has been seen as a possibility for some time.
On Friday, a senior national security official, briefing reporters
aboard Air Force One,
announced that the president had added a stop in Poland to his early
July trip to Hamburg, Germany, for the Group of 20 summit meeting. But
the official made a point of not discussing the Britain visit, saying
that only the Germany and Poland legs of the trip had been planned.
Officials
in Mrs. May’s government have also avoided publicly discussing Mr.
Trump’s possible visit. Some senior diplomats, including Peter Ricketts,
who was the national security adviser under David Cameron, Mrs. May’s
predecessor as prime minister in the Conservative government, have said
it is too early for a formal state visit. Those are normally granted
after several years in office, if at all. But Mr. Ricketts said he had
no objection to a governmental visit.
During
a joint news conference at the White House in January, Mrs. May said
that Queen Elizabeth II had extended the invitation for a state visit,
adding that the monarch was “delighted that the president has accepted
that invitation.”
In the months since, Mr. Trump has remained a deeply polarizing figure in the United States and in Britain.
A
few hours after the London attack on June 3, he resumed a long-running
feud with Mr. Khan, the first Muslim mayor of a major Western European
capital.
“At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter.
Mr.
Khan was in fact referring to the public’s reaction in seeing heavily
armed security forces deployed in the city. He was not playing down the
threat posed by Islamic terrorists.
A spokesman for the mayor said last weekend that Mr. Khan had “more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump’s
ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks
urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police — including
armed officers — on the streets.”
