[custom_adv] And on Tuesday, a woman popped one of the Trump baby blimps used by protesters marching against President Donald Trump's visit to the U.K., according to the British newspaper The Independent. [custom_adv] The balloon, which depicts Trump as a diaper-wearing baby, had been used by anti-Trump protesters to mock the American president. [custom_adv] The crowd cheered as the man looked visibly upset. He then proceeded to throw what seems like the remains of the milkshake at someone else and tried to kick a person who was off camera. He was then escorted away by a police official, though the crowd followed right behind him. [custom_adv] The European media is keeping a close eye on President Donald Trump's state visit to the U.K., which is preparing to leave the EU through its Brexit process and hoping to forge stronger trading links to America. [custom_adv] Trump has clashed with the European Union (EU) over issues such as trade, defense, climate change, and foreign policy, including the Iran nuclear deal, which he withdrew the U.S. from. He has also praised nationalists seeking to undo the EU, and enthusiastically endorsed Brexit. [custom_adv] The Spanish newspaper El Mundo described President Trump in an editorial published Wednesday as an "elephant in a china shop," calling his trip "grotesque in diplomatic terms" and warning: "The Republican wants a weaker and more divided Europe and does not hide it." [custom_adv] Another Spanish newspaper, El Pais, on Tuesday suggested that Trump had insulted the U.K. by intervening on political issues such as Brexit and the Conservative Party's leadership election. It also called Trump's attacks on London Mayor Sadiq Khan "intolerable" and beneath the dignity of his office. [custom_adv] U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK in June 5 touched off the usual wrangling between the president and the press — and between his supporters and his detractors — over the relative sizes of crowds that turned out to either cheer or protest his visit. [custom_adv] One side claimed that cheering throngs were large in size and groups of protesters were slight, while the other side claimed the opposite. [custom_adv] President Trump joined other world leaders at an event on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the wartime operation on the final leg of his three-day state visit to Britain. [custom_adv] Protesters in the British capital’s government district hoped to disrupt Trump’s Tuesday meetings with members of the royal family and outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May. [custom_adv] Many expected the crowds to surpass last year’s gathering, which would’ve served as another powerful rebuke by citizens of a country that almost universally dislike the president. [custom_adv] It’s worth noting that people on both sides were out on the streets for different reasons. Many of those who came out to support Trump surely liked him personally, but some were there to show appreciation for his pro-Brexit and hardline immigration stance. [custom_adv] Similarly, most of those chanting against Trump don’t like him or his policies, but many were also there to protest against fascism in general. [custom_adv] The crowd cheered as the man looked visibly upset. He then proceeded to throw what seems like the remains of the milkshake at someone else and tried to kick a person who was off camera. He was then escorted away by a police official, though the crowd followed right behind him.
