the guy's a bigot and an asshole of the first degree... not surprised he'd need a lot of security there. And there are probably more people relived that he's not going to show than are disappointed. He would try to grab all the attention, which is probably the real reason why, nobody would be willing to play along. If it's not all about bibi, he's not going.

Understand too that cost has never been a concern before... it's often American taxpayer $$ he's burning anyway.

He can stay home and sulk.
