President Unindicted Co-conspirator couldn't show his face in London because of the huge (2 million people) anti-Trump crowd. Now Ireland sends a signal that he's persona non grata there as well.
MAGA!
When do you suppose his cultists will get the massage?
PS: This NEVER happened during Presidenct Obama's term in office. He was always welcomed by our closest allies.
Trump cancels Ireland trip after massive protests planned throughout Dublin
The president is still expected to attend Armistice Day celebrations in France
The French don't like Trump either. Believe me!
Actually, that's an exaggeration. Some people do like him -- the deplorable 30 percenters adore him.

The fact a person may not be liked is not always in and of itself a bad thing. When a person receives no respect that is what's important. One can be disliked yet respected. In tRumps case he is disliked (not so important), AMD, not respected (important).
The sooner tRump is gone the better for the USA and the world at large.
In my lifetime, I've never seen an American president have to cancel visits to allied nations because of their disrespect for him. This is a first for America.
Shaw,
I'm guessing my lifetime is about the same number of years as your lifetime. Trump is certainly the most ill-mannered, openly racist, woman hating, illiterate, idiot we have had as president in our lifetimes, but he is not even close to being the most evil, murderous president of our lifetime. But give him time, I have no doubt he has what it takes to be those awful things as well.
I was hoping the queen would not receive him, but I guess she was upholding the respect she has for the American people and our long history together. Imagine all the presidents she has known and all the secrets about their behavior.
It must be a tricky position for other world leaders. They have to deal with Trump and hope he will not win a second term as president of the United States. They might fear a backlash from America if they insult our president by refusing to allow him in their countries, but then there are still multiple countries where Bush and Cheney are war criminals and to be arrested if they set foot in their country.
I can't tell other countries they need not worry about Trump, but I would support them if they want to deny him entry into their country.
In my lifetime, I thought Nixon was the worst president, and I was not happy at all with Clinton's lack of self control and what he did in the Oval Office. But compared with Trump, Clinton is a saint!
IMO the absolute worst in history was Andrew Jackson (irony -- he was the first people's president, and a Democrat!):
"In 1838 Cherokee people were forcibly moved from their homeland and relocated to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. They resisted their Removal by creating their own newspaper, The Cherokee Phoenix, as a platform for their views. They sent their educated young men on speaking tours throughout the United States. They lobbied Congress, and created a petition with more than 15,000 Cherokee signatures against Removal. They took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that they were a sovereign nation n Worcester vs. Georgia (1832). President Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court decision, enforced his Indian Removal Act of 1830, and pushed through the Treaty of New Echota.
In 1838 Cherokee people were forcibly taken from their homes, incarcerated in stockades, forced to walk more than a thousand miles, and removed to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. More than 4,000 died and many are buried in unmarked graves along “The Trail Where They Cried.”
I would agree with you. I would include Grant for similar reasons. He was president when America put the last stomp on the Native Americans. Tracked them down all over the West, killed them and put them in reservations. A system that still stands today.
