I would suggest that it is unthinkable that the UK would not invite an elected President of the U.S. for a state visit at the earliest opportunity. The continuity concerns the alliances between the two nations, not the credentials of the individuals holding office at the time.

They'll certainly want to up the uk from number 11 on the Trumper's phone list :-)
The debate in the commons was because a petition about banning him had reached the requisite number of signatures and was never going to be passed. A monumental waste of parliament's time

It would be the first US President on record that isn't afforded a State Visit.

Betty has a track record when it comes to holding her nose on such occasions, as could be seen 1978, when she had to meet this loathsome couple ::::

After Ceausescu, Trump will be a mere bagatelle.

I see the Germans have found the decree banishing his grandfather from Germany for not doing military service

I think it'll be clothes pegs on mikey, but I'm not sure we have a choice. We actually accorded Putin a state visit beck in the day when Tony had the hots for him.

Of course we should. It matters not what he is like, nor do his politics matter. He is merely the figure-head of the USA as the monarch is of the UK.
Were the queen to be a dribbling idiot (which she isn't) the invitation would be sent. They simply represent powers meeting.

I doubt the government has much choice really.

He could and would of course be invited anyway. It's the 'state visit' bit ...
