The Sunday Times reports that White House officials are afraid that widespread demonstrations and the appearance of a giant Trump angry baby blimp over the Houses of Parliament could mar the trip and cause the notoriously thin-skinned American leader to lash out at his hosts.

No, the president is not avoiding anything, U.S. ambassador to the U.K. Woody Johnson said during a press conference, adding that London will be the base. The president is merely trying to get as impactful a trip as he can get in a 24-hour period.
Johnson said he and officials are all aware of the blimp and that the president is focusing on his goals for the trip and appreciates free speech, both in this country and in our country.

Can't he just watch a NatGeo special or something? He could learn everything he needs or wants to in a 90-minute program, as long as he could fast forward through the boring history stuff.

on cable. Maybe they can get him a copy. That will keep him entertained while he is in his room hiding.

I fully anticipate that he will display an inordinate amount of pique and vulgarity.
