President Trump on Thursday reportedly said he feels “unwelcome†in London due to expected protests during his visit to the United Kingdom.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump said he believes London citizens “like me a lot,†despite reports of multiple planned protests against him, including a protest involving a 20-foot-tall inflatable baby bearing his face that was scheduled to be flown during his visit.
But after being asked about the blimp, Trump reportedly told The Sun newspaper: “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.â€
London's mayor approved a request from protesters to fly the blimp during Trump's visit near Parliament.

Gee, I wonder why he's not well liked.
Trump just can't stand it when not everyone fawns all over him. It upsets his supporters too.
He thinks the people in London love him? I hate to tell him they don't. I'd say most people in Europe view him as an ill-mannered brute with zero class. They are interested in being sucked into his reality tv presidency.

Mr. Trump is not "well-liked" in London because a substantial part of London's population isn't British any more...

It's hard for many Americans to feel welcome in Europe. I know I don't.

Son has lived there over twenty years. He said his British friends could not believe Trump won. They consider him a "dolt" (stupid person).

The Muslimification of London and much of Europe in general may be part of it, but most of it is that people in that part of the world don't like some "Ugly American" barging into their countries, criticizing them and their leaders and telling them what to do. To many, he is an obnoxious, rude, crude bully and they don't like it or him. I don't care if this is all part of his act and this is how he makes deals. It's just plain wrong.
I sure hope he behaved himself with the Queen.
