Pauline Turns Down Trump

icyfroth — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:47:40 GMT

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has tickets to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration ceremony but won't be making the trip to Washington.

The Queensland senator says her duties to her state - which she's been touring to announce candidates for the coming election - come first.

Senator Hanson announced on Twitter this morning she had been gifted tickets to the January 20 ceremony.

"Would you believe it? ... what an honour!" she tweeted.

But she later said she wouldn't be attending because of work commitments.

"My duties to the people of Queensland & Australia come first."

Wow. Wonder how many other people turned him down?

She may have been concerned about him going the grope.

It would be a pretty brave or stupid person who tried that on with our Pauline. ................I reckon the face slap would be so fast it would break the sound barrier .....

Heads of State of foreign countries are not invited to USA presidential inauguration..not Prime Ministers, Presidents or Monarchs.

The Ambassadors {or their representative} to he USA only are invited.

I was at the DC Embassy for a few inuurations in my past life.

Incidentally, I was in NYC a week before the election......it was interesting.
