Hot air balloon: Many U.S. mayors haven’t been afraid to air their feelings about President Trump, and today we see that extends across the pond. A “carnival of resistance” already awaited Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom, even as he mostly skipped out on London, but that didn’t stop a war of words with London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
