CNN: There will be no escape! Donald Trump is in for the trolling of a lifetime

(CNN)The British government is in crisis, the Prime Minister losing ministers on what feels like a daily basis and the country riven by arguments about how -- or even whether -- to leave the European Union.

What better time to turn our collective angst outwards, with the delicious distraction of a world leader more ridiculous than our own sorry bunch.

Donald Trump is in for the trolling of a lifetime when he arrives in Britain or at least its environs. The orange baby blimp flying over London will be only the start as my countrymates show off their famous sense of irreverent satire.

There will be no escape. Even if Trump manages to break his TV habit and even if his schedule has been carefully arranged to minimize time in London, he will be unable to miss the jibes.

Already, a social media campaign has helped propel the 2004 Green Day hit "American Idiot" back up the charts. It's not subtle -- "Don't wanna be an American idiot, Don't want a nation under the new media" -- but when it comes to Trump, well what's the point of that?

I'm sure the Brits won't be upset if we Americans steal some of their ideas to use when he returns home.
