Trump in Britain: London demonstrators come out in force against U.S. president
If President Donald Trump was in any doubt about the welcome he would receive from the public during his visit to Britain, the sheer scale of people marching against him through London on Friday afternoon would have told him everything he needed to know.
On Thursday, shortly after arriving, he had claimed: "I think they like me a lot in the U.K."
Tens of thousands of Brits took to the streets to contradict his assessment.

Protests began even before that interview was published. Marine One thundered into the London sky Thursday night, while several hundred protesters gathered below to raise a din with pots, pans, drums, horns, whistles, and megaphones and held placards with messages of varying profanity.
Their message was chanted over and over. "F*** Trump, F*** Trump, F*** Trump," they yelled, all the while making a din with their improvised instruments. - NBC News

I don't recall protests against any standing president and certainly not on this scale.
Every republican not acting on the will of the majority, are traitors to America.

tRumpie felt 'unwanted' in England...has anyone told him that is also pretty much unwanted here, too?
Every day poor little tRumplethinskin becomes more and more Nixon-like.
