President Donald Trump is on his second state visit to the United Kingdom Wednesday, and while the president has excitedly called the invitation a great honor, local protestors are refusing to allow Trump to escape one of the biggest scandals that has plagued his administration.
Reporting from London, England, NBC News international correspondent Raf Sanchez said that thousands of British protestors were expected to march the streets of central London later on Wednesday in protest to Trumps visit. As such, Trumps entire trip was designed, Sanchez said, to avoid London.
As of Wednesday morning, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are staying at Winfield House in London, the American ambassadors residence, and are expected to fly to Windsor Castle later on Wednesday. And, while Trumps travel plans were designed to avoid demonstrations, protestors have already employed a tactic to ensure that their demonstrations will follow Trump throughout his visit.

I doubt those from the US will do much, but will the British and European members of the press?

Let's see if he tries to sue them like he's doing to the NYT.

He can try, but the defence will be easy because the media will be reporting the truth. Usually.
