Leftists will ignore England's own tabloid paper laughing over the minuscule size and utter failure of this "protest" and continue their belief that all of England shares a mutual hatred of Trump. You'll even clap your hands over a photoshop of the blimp looming large and hanging high over the city, which it did not.

Some real simple minds at work here.

That depends on which alternative facts you use.

Speaking of simple minds, Trump just called The Sun "Fake News" on national and UK television.

I have some good friends in the UK, and what I enjoy most about them is that they pull no punches and will tell you straight out what they feel. They also have a great, but dry, sense of humor.


This blimpy boy is a stroke of genius, and so very fitting for a man/child like Trump. I hope he sees it and wets his diaper.

At least America doesn't act like children when other world leaders visit the US. That is just insulting to me as a republican voter.

Not exactly the revolution meme that got pushed so hard. The picture and caption at the end of the article made me lol.
Exactly. Whoever was making the video would have been at the back of the crowd to show huge numbers if they were there. Instead there are a few lines deep and a few people wide. So obvious.

Didn't someone make a balloon of their pathetic dummy mayor? I wonder if it was allowed to fly?

Well, at least Donald Trump is consistent...........consistently stupid. I am so embarrassed that we actually let him go over there.

I'm not at all offended by the blimp. It's childish and unbecoming, but I absolutely support the Brits' right to fly it. I am however enjoying a bit of schadenfreude after reading The Sun's scathing mockery of the whole thing. One thing about the Brits that I love: they tell it like it is whether it shines a bright light on the antics of others OR themselves.

By-and-large Americans are too aloof and uneducated to pull a stunt like this when world leaders visit. They are too busy watching funny cat videos on local news or going to the latest iteration of Transformers to care about foreign policy. A large segment of Americans cannot identify the Vice-President, much less name (nevermind understand the policies of) more than a couple of world leaders.
