“If he is going to address Parliament … then flying him from Parliament Square again would be perfect,” Murray said. “Trump Baby destroys his fantasy about how the world sees him.”
Foreign leaders typically address lawmakers on state visits, as well as meeting with the Queen and other members of the royal family. But several members of Parliament are hoping to block Trump from speaking, and more than 60 have supported a motion calling for his invitation to be revoked.
“Deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic, Donald Trump is no friend of Britain,” David Lammy, an MP for the opposition Labour Party, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “He is not fit to hold public office, let alone worthy of our country’s highest honours and a banquet with the Queen. Theresa May is selling out the UK to a serial liar and a cheat.”
A spokesman for the mayor hinted that another request would receive approval. “Any application to fly it on land that the Greater London Authority manage will be judged by the same criteria as last time by GLA officials, the police and the Civil Aviation Authority,” he said in a statement sent to CNN.

Trump has criticized Khan on several occasions, including in the wake of terror attacks in London, and the mayor has, in turn, made clear his opposition to the President.
British Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump to make a state visit to the UK when she met him in the White House a week after his inauguration.
In a statement released Tuesday, the White House said the state visit “will reaffirm the steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”
