Boris Johnson's criticism of Trump projected onto Big Ben



Prior to this visit, Trump said "I think Boris would do a very good job. I think he would be excellent. I like him. I have always liked him.”

So some activists projected a few of Boris' kind words from 2016 onto Big Ben.

I think Donald Trump is clearly out of his mind .... You clearly can't ban people (muslims) going to the United States in that way, or indeed any country.

And what he is doing is playing the game of the terrorists, and those who seek to divide us.

That is exactly the kind of reaction they hope to produce, and I have to say when Donald Trump says there are parts of London that are no go areas, I think he's betraying a quite stupifying ignorance, that makes him quite frankly unfit to hold the office of President of the United States.

I would invite him to come and see the whole of London, and take him round the city, except that I wouldn't want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.

Given that the likes Lindsey Graham, Mario Rubio, Mitt Romney, et al, prostrate themselves routinely for the orange vulgarian that is tRump.

Trump says he may meet with Boris Johnson

President Donald Trump says he may meet this week with conservative British politician Boris Johnson during his state visit to the United Kingdom, days after he suggested he’d support Johnson’s effort to replace Theresa May as prime minister.

Wading in again to his hosts’ domestic politics, Trump says of Johnson, “He’s a friend of mine,” adding he may also meet with another pro-Brexit politician, Nigel Farage, during his visit.

Fortunately for you, he won’t stick around long.

Unfortunately for us, we have to take him back.

Frankly, I would LOVE to take him back! What kind of refund could I get?

I'd like to also see ads featuring turncoats like Graham and others that competed in the GOP primaries with him. They have many clips of Republicans that now lick his boots, that previously called him unfit and other choice words. Whole ads with nothing but, say, Graham spouting out anti-Trump admonishments...or Clinton era pro-impeachment clips, etc..no need to add anything else. Maybe perhaps ending with a text, "paid for by (the Democratic party candidate)"
