Indian authorities fear that Trump could be attacked by monkeys at the Taj Mahal


'If monkeys attack Donald Trump's entourage, it will be a disaster': Indians fear not enough has been done to protect the President from primate 'terror' ahead of his Taj Mahal visit
Monkeys harassing tourists have become a major problem at India's Taj Mahal
Donald Trump is expected to visit the landmark on Monday with his wife Melania
Locals fear that a large troop of monkeys could be impossible to control

There are around 500 to 700 macaque monkeys living in and around the monument, it is believed.

Brij Bhushan, head of the Taj Mahal security force, said last year that police had received locally-made slingshots to fend off the monkeys.

'We found that monkeys get scared by just seeing us brandishing these slingshots,' he said at the time.

trDump's flesh must be as poisonous and toxic as his countenance, his civility, and his composure.

Well they could always yum-yum,... then vomit it up - before they swallowed.

You know....what if there were 6 foot mannequins with yellow wigs placed all around the Taj Mahal with grapes nested in the wigs? What would ensue?
