Thousands of people are marching on Parliment in London and demanding the British government withdraw its invitation to President Trump for a state visit.
Video of the marchers:
ABC News reported, “Saturday’s demonstration in the British capital involved a two-mile (3-kilometer) march of several thousand people from the U.S. embassy to the Houses of Parliament. Protesters chanted ‘Theresa May, shame on you!'”
President Trump has been on the job for two weeks and one day and inspired the same level of revulsion in citizens of US allies that it took George W. Bush years to achieve. Currently, the historic failure of the Bush administration is a level that Trump should hope to reach.
The British government is the most storied ally in the modern history of the United States. It is one thing for Trump to have reached record levels of toxicity at home, but for a brand new president to not be able to seek refuge in foreign policy trips is unheard of. For decades, presidents have weathered tough political climates at home with overseas trips.
This may not be an option for Trump as the protests over his very presence on British soil signal that for many he will be an unwelcome guest.
Trump isn’t wanted by a majority at home, and he won’t be welcomed with open arms with traditional allies abroad. President Trump is one of the most disliked political leaders in the entire world.
