Because Sir Ringo, Sir Paul and Sir Elton brought happiness to the world. Donald Trump is bringing misery

Ringo, Paul, and Elton are British citizens. Trump is not. Also, the Brits hate his guts, so the queen would be unlikely to knight him.

You have to have class to get knighted.
trump has no class, no dignity, no sense, and no morals.

Because Britain hates trump? Also, he isn't British and the monarchy doesn't go around knighting foreigners.

You know, I wish the Queen did promise to knight him. Why? Because it's super illegal. It's right there in the constitution - "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."
No foreign titles. At all. But Trump is so puffed-up arrogant that he'd accept, and prove to all the world he thinks the constitution is toilet paper.

He isn't British, unlike those you mention. Also, none of Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney or Elton John are unspeakable cnuts.

Sir Elton John has become the latest high-profile musician to tell American presidential wannabe Donald Trump to stop using his music for campaign purposes.
Following in the footsteps of Adele, R.E.M. and Neil Young, Elton John was displeased by the Republican politician using his 1972 hit Rocket Man at political rallies.
A publicist for the English singer-songwriter confirmed to entertainment website WENN that John is not endorsing Trump's political campaign. "Elton's music has not been requested for use in any official capacity by Donald Trump. Any use of his music should not be seen as an endorsement of Donald Trump by Elton," the publicist said.
Adele and other musicians angered by politicians
Earlier this week, Adele made clear that she had not given permission for anyone to use her music for political campaigns after Trump played her 2011 hit song Rolling in the Deep at rallies in Iowa.
R.E.M. hit out last September at Trump for using their hit song It's the End of the World at a rally.

Because the US is a republic, not a kingdom.
Ringo Star and Elton John are citizens of the United Kingdom. Trump is not.
Knighthoods are a British honour. Trump's neither British nor honourable.

Some people use "Sir" because it is stylish, while others were knights who were awarded by the British monarch.
People may address Mr. Trump as "Sir" to be polite, but Mr. Trump cannot be "Sir Donald Trump" because he is not a British noble.

In order to get a knighthood, and have the title 'SIR' you need to be a BRITISH CITIZEN. Knighthood awards given to non British nationals, such as Trump, could be knighted, but they would not be allowed to use the prefix 'SIR' as this can only be bestowed upon British citizens. If Trump was awarded a knighthood (highly unlikely), he would only be allowed to use the initials KBE after his name, which stands for Knight of the British Empire.

Ringo, Paul and Elton have all been knighted for their high profile charity work as well as services to the music industry. All Donald has been able to achieve is to make the world a nastier and more dangerous place. Anyway, if Her Britannic Majesty was ever to find herself holding a sword close to Trump's jugular, I'm sure she'd be unable to resist the temptation.

Because Trump isn't British (thank GOD) and he already has a title Mr. President.
