President Donald Trump loved seeing "American Idiot," the Green Day Broadway musical, on its opening night in 2010, calling it "an amazing theatrical experience!" on Twitter.
That night, he posed on the red carpet with his wife, Melania, wearing his signature long red tie, and even managed to sit in the theatre under the same roof as Rosie O'Donnell "without incident," Playbill reported at the time.

But when Trump arrives in the United Kingdom this week for meetings with Prime Minister Theresa May and the queen, among others, the president may have a different view of the Green Day anti-establishment anthem.
Ahead of Trump's visit, protesters in the United Kingdom have launched a campaign to play "American Idiot" so many times that, by the time he arrives, the song will be the No. 1 single in the U.K. The incessant downloads started July 6 and will continue through Thursday. Protesters have been using iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Spotify and YouTube, among others, to stream and download the song.
