Him again? Windsor reacts to more Trump and circumstance
The Observer

A second state visit for the US president widely seen as a necessary evil
The pageantry of a state occasion is something Joanna Chin usually enjoys. She stood on Thames Street in Windsor, outside the castle, to celebrate the queen's 90th birthday and Harry and Megan's wedding. Will she come out for President Trump?
"I can't stand the man," she said. "It's difficult to even believe it's happening - that somebody like that can be president of the United States. He's dangerous.
"Having said that, we can't afford to fall out with America, so there's that balance between what we believe and what's the most expedient thing to do to protect the interests of the country. Will I come out to watch him? No."
Keir Starmer's offer of a royal invitation for a second state visit is as unprecedented as Trump's 10-minute tirade at Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House. But even before the Oval Office meltdown, Britons were both sceptical and resigned about the presidential visit.
