To the Editor:Re “President Trump’s Visit to Queen Mixes Pageantry With the Petty” (nytimes.com, June 3):As President Trump saunters thuggishly through Buckingham Palace, it is clear this state visit by an American president is like no other. The sense of curiosity and abiding respect the arrival of the leader of the free world normally inspires here is entirely absent. It seems merely an ordeal the country must navigate with some grace until he flies off to bother someone else. Mike GalvinWinchcombe, EnglandTo the Editor:Here ’s some unsolicited advice for President Trump on his state visit to the United Kingdom:When attending D-Day celebrations in Britain and France, please don’t claim that the landing would have gone much better if you had been in charge. When you are dining with the royal family, try not to treat the beverage glasses like a sippy cup, using both hands.
