Yesterday was just a preview of of the British “welcome” for trump’s ill-advised trip to the UK where he fatuously claimed that the British people love him. The British are demonstrating their love for him today in full force.
You have probably seen many of these tweets, but here is a selection of some of the best today from London and some from this side of the Atlantic.

I've been asked why I've been critical of rolling out the red carpet for President Trump's State Visit given the USA is a close ally. My answer is simple: The USA and UK have been best mates for decades. When your best mate does something wrong, you have to call them out on it. pic.twitter.com/NwBmS9d21Sâ Mayor of London (@MayorofLondon) June 4, 2019
