Donald Trump’s Visit To London Inspired Massive Protests And Some Very British Signs
"Trump wears poorly tailored suits" is the most savage burn a British person can deliver.
Donald Trump is in the UK this weekend, and the UK isn’t particularly happy about it. The American President’s visit sparked mass protests in London, with nearly 250,000 people turning out to voice their opposition to… y’know… all the terrible things he does.
Of course, this being Britain, the rally had quite a distinctive local flavor, as seen in many of the excellent signs.

I hear Donnie is making his way to Scotland tomorrow. So just incase you forgot, here’s a reminder, Scots are the best at making Anti-Trump signs. pic.twitter.com/MCwZdNImZd

Protesters in Trafalgar Square were addressed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who told the crowd “when we unite together with common objectives, we can all win”.
A recent poll showed that 77 percent of Britons have an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump.
