Donald and Melania Trump were warned about a possible monkey attack ahead of their trip to India.

The president and first lady of the United States will be flying to India later this month. They will be joined by Ivanka and Jared Kushner. However, a local warned them of monkey attack ahead of their next state visit.

Trump and Melania will take from Agra airport to Taj Mahal. The government of India has been preparing for POTUS and FLOTUS visit that mobile communications are already expected to be interrupted. However, the security lockdown doesn’t apply to the hundreds of monkeys in the area.

“The terror of the monkeys is so pervasive that women and children are scared of going up on the roof of their houses, which have almost been taken over by monkeys. If such a large troop of monkeys attacks Donald Trump's entourage, it will be a disaster,” a local resident told India Today.

CISF Jawan said that the catapult they have been using to scare off the monkeys work. However, it is only effective against a single or couple of monkeys. Unfortunately, it is no longer effective against a whole troop of monkeys.

The publication to the Agra Municipal Corporation officials and they admitted that they lack measures in controlling the monkeys from entering the Taj Mahal premises.

The monkeys and other stray animals have attacked numerous domestic and foreign tourists. Earlier this month, a stray cow injured a Danish tourist only identified as Niels. The cow lifted Niels on its horns and threw him in the air leaving him seriously injured. He was diagnosed with shoulder fracture and a head injury.

“People are being injured by stray animals in Agra as well as the entire state every day, but when a tourist, who is a guest of Agra, gets injured in an animal attack, it tarnishes the reputation of not only Agra but the entire country,” Vishal Sharma a local official said about the incident.

In related news, Melania is independent of Trump. The first lady is the “most free person in the Trump world.” According to Trump’s communications director, the FLOTUS can do anything she feels right.
