In Philadelphia, apparently, which is (according to W C Fields) better than being dead. Visiting President Trump there and then in Washington to rekindle the Anglo-American fire.
We have a photo of the event - Americans don't reed our local press so they'll have missed Steve Bell capturing the moment...
And to add to the effect, the White House then spelled her name wrong in its press release.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

Is it worse done on purpose or by accident?
Either way, I think Mr Bell has probably caught the moment.

Accidental and unchecked is just plain tragic. This is the leader of the free world being mis-spelled and they've no idea who she is.

For some reason she didn't wear her braggadocio leather trousers, she preferred a dress which left her knees visible and no socks. The more I hear about her the odder she seems.

What joyous language...In the press conference that followed their Oval Office meeting, there were no bombshells: Trump managed to get through it without insulting an entire ethnic group, trashing a democratic norm or declaring war, any of which might have diverted attention from May’s big moment. He was on best behaviour, diligently reading the script that had been written for him, attesting to the “deep bond†that connects Britain and the US. May received all the assurances she craved that her country’s relationship with the US remains “specialâ€.
[...] He will have seen May as that most desperate of creatures: the housebuyer who rashly sold her old house before she had found a new one. Having tossed away Britain’s keys to the European single market, she will soon be homeless – and Trump knows it. For all the niceties – May’s shrewd deployment of a royal invitation for a state visit and her compliment to the president on his “stunning election victoryâ€, flattery which saw Trump glow a brighter shade of orange – he will have seen May as a sucker who needs to make a deal. And he will look forward to naming his price.
[...] Underpinning May’s approach was a kind of optimistic naivety tinged with arrogance, the same sentiments that mistakenly informed so many Republicans in their dealings with Trump during the past year: the belief that they could tame him and that he would change.
Whitehall believes May can steer Trump towards sanity on the importance of the UN, Nato and a rules-based international system as well as the necessity of vigilance when it comes to Vladimir Putin. (“Engage, but beware,†as May put it.) As Jeremy Shapiro, a former state department official, told the New York Times, London tends to think “our expert tutelage will socialise him and it’ll be OKâ€.
Hubris apart, such thinking woefully misjudges Trump. He has not changed, and is not likely to, as the lies and lunacies of this past week have shown. What’s more, it assumes that Trump could ever be led to some kind of steady, consistent world view. He managed it for a few short minutes on Friday. But the evidence suggests Trump tends to agree with the last person he speaks to. Give it a few days or weeks, and he’ll happily say the exact opposite.
He is feeling special about Britain and Ter-raiser now, but just wait till he gets in a room with the one person for whom his admiration has been constant: Putin. Then we’ll see which relationship Trump sees as really special.

what's a glasgow kiss?
I watched a British reporter ask him questions then sum up the visit.
Holy cow! She didn't do diplomacy any favours. and her reporting was very bias.

The 'radical' left just wants everyone to have food, shelter, healthcare, education and a living wage. Man that's radical!....ooooohhhh Scary!

An attractive turn of phrase, as always, from Stewart Lee:
Friendless in Europe, she began trade negotiations with the kind of rogue state we might once have proudly imposed sanctions on. We didn’t buy Apartheid oranges. Henceforth let us boycott Dunkin’ Donuts, hardcore pornography and Adam Sandler movies, America’s most choice exports.
