I don't expect folk singers to be experts at this but...

Do not say the word rope in front of a family that has had a hanging.
When Trump visits the Queen he should not insist upon knighthood.

The Queen or King shall bestow knighthood by having the subject kneel and with a sword touch the right shoulder of the subject while saying
"In the name of the warrior I charge you to be brave, then the left shoulder "In the name of England I charge you to be just" then right again "In the name of the Crown I charge you to defend the innocent"
"Arise (name) a knight of the United Kingdom". If desired one swift motion will do.

Article 9, section 8: "8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

I don't see Congress approving it.

He will tweet, he was showered with accolades, and they are "just great".

Regardless.

If the Queen should draw out a sword to knight you, it is not the done thing to draw a gun in response.

I know the Constitution. The Constitution was a friend of mine.
No Rapparee, the Constitution has not stopped Trump yet.

"No one disobeys my orders" D.T.    (not Posse Comitatus, Muslim ban, Emolluments clause, family separations...)

It is not polite to pick your nose and/while scratching your balls unless you are an athlete.
