Trump's Foreign Trip

I hope he is greated by protesters everywhere possible.
- Saudi Arabia - not possible there that I can imagine
-The Vatican ( at least outside in Rome)
- Israel - yes, and hopefully many motivated including Americans and dual citizens.
-Brussels - easy train ride from much of western europe. French, Germans, Dutch, Belgians --please show and protest Trump.
- Sicily - if not enough people to protest there, great time of year for a protesting vacation from anywhere in Europe.

On how quickly he makes an ass of himself overseas. They don't have anyone who voted for him and he'll be bigly irritated by the protests

Was planned by staff so he can get through at least one country without a meltdown.

Obama will be with Merkel at large event at Brandenburg Gate. Think about the optics. Think about the news coverage. Think it will get under the skin of Trump?! Of course. Merkel and Trump will then be together a couple of days later in Sicily at the G7.
