Awww. He misses his Fox and Friends:
Just arrived in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that @CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S. After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn’t owner @ATT do something?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2019
I believe that if people stoped using or subscribing to @ATT, they would be forced to make big changes at @CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway. It is so unfair with such bad, Fake News! Why wouldn’t they act. When the World watches @CNN, it gets a false picture of USA. Sad!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2019
That’s nice. The resident on a state visit pressuring people to boycott a corporation to stifle the free press. Very inspiring.
He did have time to take a shot at London’s mayor before he landed:
….Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job – only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2019
Fasten your seatbelts. I have a feeling he’s not going to like the protests and the press during this visit.
Update: Trump has been singing the praises of Boris Johnson for Prime Minister. Apparently, he was unaware that Boris was “nasty” too:
Update II: I am reliably informed on Twitter that Melania actually thought she was going to guest star in a revival of “My Fair Lady” or perhaps “Mary Poppins.” Very possible.
