Trump in Britian

II still don’t know why they are protesting Trump. He hasn’t done anything to the people of Geat Britain except to support their vote to leave the E.U. I think we as Americans should remember this disrespect of our democratically elected leader.

Dude just ignore it, the people protesting are just our loony left wingers.
I don't know anyone who is against Trump, and many of my friends are left wing hardened activists who have been arrested for protesting and civil disobedience many times.
I protest things like wars, savage taxes, GM crops, fox hunting with hounds etc...protesting Trump is ridiculous and a bit shameful seeing as he is the democratically elected leader of our closest ally.

None of those protests were in my name or the name of anyone I know.

So it is okay to protest as long as you do it.....
You may be fine with trump lying about the UK and our NHS but many are not.

Don't debate like a child, where did I say 'it's okay to protest as long as I do it' I didn't.
I think the protests were pathetic, so he's made some gaffe's and said stupid things, hardly genocide or something.
And if you wanna bitch about Trumps immigration policy then get protesting outside 10 Downing street because the UK is way stricter with immigration than the US. We have border force officers actually on the French side keeping people out, and Britain paid millions on the fences at the port od Calais, Britain's 'wall' if you like.

No the protests were ridiculous in my opinion, what the # has Trump actually done to deserve such anger and hatred? Come on, give me a list of his crimes that are so terrible that I would be arsed to go to the #hole London and join the party?

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

Plenty of other places up and down the country held protests. Like I said you think it is ridiculous but many don't you keep on bleating how you were a protestor but I find it odd you would not even have a clue why people are protesting trump.

a reply to: testingtesting

Dude, why do you think it's odd that I only protest important things?
Come on, I'm waiting for the list of Trump's terrible crimes against humanity?
You are the one supporting the protests so share with the class what makes you so angry about Trump that you'll march the streets.

EDIT
And where were these tens of thousands when the Chinese leader or Saudi king visited?
Protesting Trump was just a silly street party for half of them. He should have picked a rainy day to visit and you wouldn't have seen a quarter of the numbers there.

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

If only. I can't remember the last rainy day.

If only the British were so passionate about their own political leaders. Pity.

Our political leaders are tame compared to yours , they also live here so we can protest through the ballot box a luxury we don't get when it comes to the leader of the free world.
Leader
Protest is an Inalienable Right given to us through Democracy , when it stops we are lost.

Protest peacefully all you want. You are right EVERYONE should be able to do that.

There is no one on the UK Political scene that garners such enthusiasm, one way or the other. You prove my point.

What has Trump done as "Leader of the Free World", that bothers you so much?

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

I have already said why people I know went down to protest.
Funny how you do not like others protesting but when it is you......
Oh and I do not see fox hunt protesting as important.

a reply to: pavil

Free world have you seen all the freedom indexes? you are not free it is an illusion.

I actually think that a good relationship between Trump and the British PM is a good thing because I think that a strong relationship between America and the UK is a good thing. In the UK as we leave the EU a trade deal between the UK and America could be vital so for that reason I think him visiting the UK and forging stronger ties with his British counterpart its good for the country.

Now that said....

I do understand why he is finding himself to be so unpopular, a lot of what he stands for just isn't very popular in the UK, he has done things in the UK before even becoming POTUS that were unpopular and caused protests so while I think its good of him visiting I do understand the protests.

Did anyone see the paraglider get within a hundred metres of him in Scotland last night? What did the sign say I couldn't see it?.

You're kidding me! You mean a protester in a hang-glider got within a 100 meters of the POTUS and wasn't taken out with a Patriot missile?


The Secret Service is getting soft.

Oh so telling lies about the UK and the NHS then? That's the only thing you posted.
That is the lamest reason to protest a democratically elected leader of an ally ever lol.
Face it, you have no real reasons to protest Trump, you just jumped on the bandwagon like a sheep lefty, come on, what has Trump done to humanity that I should be encouraged to march the streets of London, give me a decent list of his crimes.
...oh and hunting foxes with hounds, chasing them for miles and hours until they drop with exhaustion was a shameful sport, and through activism we stopped it when Parliament agreed it was wrong. If you support fox hunting with hounds then I have a dimmer view about you than I already did.
So come on, list Trumps crimes against humanity which are worthy of protest.

EDIT
Again you debate like a child, nowhere have I said others protesting 'unless it is me' is wrong, I'm specifically saying I think the protests against Trump were lame, pointless, and pathetic. Learn to debate fella.

a reply to: olaru12

those are trumps minions, they love him really, he thinks the placards say, make trump the king, get rid of the queen Ha!

a reply to: olaru12

That's Trump British inauguration as King, that's what his mirror told him!

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

But that's how you come across you brag about your activism but poo poo everyone else's.
We get it you do not think anyone has any reason to protest Trump. Many tens of thousands do have reasons.
Child? Rich coming from a guy who brags who his 15 year old shags.

a reply to: testingtesting

Oh don't be so pathetic pulling lines from other threads. My son is early twenties and I didn't brag, really fella, you debate like a child.
Now give me that list of crimes against humanity that make you so angry you want to protest Trump.
This is the third time I've asked and all you've given me is some lame line that he lied about the UK and the NHS.
I don't even think he lied, he reads MSM and tweets from the hip without thinking, thats not telling lies, that's just being foolish, but nothing to protest about.
Come on, why are you so angry about Trump you think it's worth protesting his visit on the streets of London?
List of crimes please, not just silly childish attacks at me as a person.

EDIT
65 million people in the UK did not protest Trump. Your unwashed lefty middle class students did, as well as the socialist unions. LMAO the same people who want the traitor Corbyn to run the country. I wouldn't trust him to mind my pint at the pub when I went for a piss.

Nah, Boris is going to be the new leader. Trump likes his hairdo. Trump is focusing on America, what a concept for a President.

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

I didn't see the future kings meeting the ego I mean trump, maybe they were with the crowds.
