President trump has laid into in the last couple of days, it appears yesterday went off without an international incident. >> reporter: so, im here in trafalgar square. protests are just starting to gather. protesters could be in the tens of thousands over the course of the day. the trump baby blimp is just a few blocks away in parliament square. theres another feature here which is a centerpiece, a robotic statue of president trump on a golden commode. it speaks and says some of his signature c...

So a lot of it is fake news. >> not to deceive you, and this is actually not fake news, demonstrators came out in droves in central london gathering at parliament square with a trump baby blimp and a trump robot sitting on a golden toilet. following those protests on the ground today is msnbc chief correspondent richard engel. richard? >> reporter: well, it is very troubling to hear the president say he saw thousands of people on the streets cheering for him. iver be ive been all across london t...

The president said he has not seen any protests during his trip to london, despite this massive trump baby blimp. well talk to the woman behind this thing. and the -- the streak has come to an end. but did james holzhauer break the game of jeopardy. a previous winner joins me next. dont tell your mother. dad, its fine. we have allstate. and with claimrateguard they wont raise your rates just because of a claim. thats why youre my favorite...

Foreign commonwealth office because it was quite clear the crowds were not chanting in support of him. but what has happened here today is the police have issued instructions that demonstrators, the big number of demonstrators who have been demonstrating here, werent able to get close to downing street. so the president really has been insulated in that way. that where the protesters are protesting, its some distance from where he is, so he hasnt been exposed to them. that the sort of baby trump...

75,000 instead of more than 100,000. but still they turned out for the second straight year. >> they did. there was certainly a movement in london today. the blimp was back in action. i have to say, it all seemed in good spirits. very much part of the democratic process. and in line with the free society here in the u.k. and also represented in the usa. it is part of the healthy society to be able to protest in this way. it was definitely smaller. many people will probably feel like one time was...

And he fired back at him i think largely because he wants to prove that sadiq khan like other politicians when they dont want to foejds on their jurisdiction theyd like a scapegoat of president trump. in my home city of chicago we saw mayor rahm emmanuel now former mayor rahm emmanuel do this repeatedly. chicago is probably the most dangerous big city in the western world instead of fixing his city he said it was a trump free zone and focused op on president trump same with chan. >> im curious o...

>> i know a number of protesters are calling out president trumps choice of language and insults and yet you float a baby trump blimp, is that not perpetuating the problem? >> look, the blimp isnt there to answer all of the kind of problems around donald trump. it is a small part of a rich texture of protests that goes on in the u.k. part of a big history of political satire and it is not -- on top of that, it is calling out one person for his behavior. he doesnt stand up for debate or to facts ...
