Trump protests are 'embarrassing' and 'cringeworthy,' overseas Republican leader says [View all]

Source: CNBC

Anti-Trump protests are scheduled to take place Thursday and Friday while the U.S. president is on a working visit to the country -- one that includes meetings with the prime minister and Queen Elizabeth II. Protestors have promised a "carnival of resistance" that will include a 20-foot inflatable baby balloon resembling Trump flying over the London skies.

"Some of these protests are quite embarrassing and cringeworthy, specifically the balloon," Drew Liquerman, told CNBC's Steve Sedgwick, adding that he respected their right to protest.

Meanwhile, Digby Jones, a former director-general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), also told CNBC Wednesday that he thought it was "disgusting" that the Trump baby balloon was being allowed.

I believe the Trump baby balloon is driving Mr. Liquerman to drink.
