chuckle. I showed the report to my lodger who is completely uninterested in politics and she nearly fell over laughing when she saw Baby Trump so it hits the target in terms of the neutral. She immediately made the point that the way to deal with it would be to go specially to see it and be seen to find it funny. I think she's probably right which makes me hope the rumours I've heard that is exactly what Tump can't do because he really is that thin skinned are true.
Still, if it's true that they needed £1,000 and got 16k through crowdfunding and plan to use the excess money to "haunt" Trump with it, we can imagine him lining up a putt at his golf course in Scotland as into his eye-line floats Baby Trump, giggling protesters winding madly on a winch underneath...
They have made efforts to make the visit as protest proof as possible: Blenheim Palace is in big grounds so the public can be kept well away, Windsor is much the same. He could even be helicoptered around if it's felt any motorcade is too obvious a target, with the empty motorcade used as a distraction.
Regarding the irony of Trump applying using climate change as a justification, we can see it. Since I think Trump regards all of that sort of thing as just saying whatever needs to be said to get what he wants, I suspect this is absolutely normal for him and he would see no irony in it. Which just adds to the irony...
You know, I do feel sorry for the Presidential Bodyguard detail these days. Taking a bullet for the President of the US is one thing. Taking a bullet for Trump, though...? Do your duty and hope it's a high velocity round...not a nice position to be in.
