DAY 86: Trump demands golden carriage to meet the queen of England

This is not just petty but just plain stupid: According to UK's The Times, Donald Trump demanded to be taken in a gold-plated carriage to meet with the queen of England. I quote:

Donald Trump waving from the Queen’s royal carriage is not a scenario many would have foreseen a year ago, but it has become a very real prospect, forcing security services to plan an unprecedented lockdown.

The White House has made clear it regards the carriage procession down the Mall as an essential element of the itinerary for the visit currently planned for the second week of October, according to officials.

Security sources have warned, however, that the procession will require a “monster” security operation, far greater than for any recent state visit.
