President Trump isn't staying at Buckingham Palace during his U.K. visit, and Fox & Friends' Steve Doocy doesn't sound particularly confident in the official explanation.
Trump won't be staying at Buckingham Palace like former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush did because of renovations that are currently underway, as had been previously announced. Trump will instead stay at the U.S. ambassador's Winfield House, The Washington Post reports.
But during a Monday Fox & Friends segment discussing Trump's visit, Doocy seemed to let a bit of skepticism of this report slip through, sounding quite incredulous as he explained that "they say" Trump can't stay at Buckingham Palace due to renovations.

Trump arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday after describing Meghan Markle as "nasty" in an interview and shortly after insulting the mayor of London as a "stone cold loser." The hosts of Fox & Friends seemed pretty upset about the backlash to Trump's visit, with host Brian Kilmeade reporting earlier in the morning, "the city is expecting massive crowds of — get this — protests. And these are our allies!" Brendan Morrow
