Trump’s unprecedented second state visit to UK marked by pageantry and protests: CNN

“So you have a carriage procession, with the cavalry out front, normally it’s going through crowds of people and that’s part of the moment. But this was in Windsor with no public allowed anywhere near it. Yes, there’s a big security concern here but other presidents have been in front of the public in carriages before.

I think a lot of this was on the British side, actually, trying ot protect the president from any sort of embarrassment, to make sure he felt really, really special… Despite the fact that so many members of the public have a complete distaste, frankly, for the president of this country as we saw in the demos last night.”
