Donald Trump and Theresa May: the Last of the US President arrived in July of 2018 to the UK
As US President Donald Trump visited in July 2018 in the United Kingdom least of all, expected him to large protests: tens of thousands gathered in the streets of London to demonstrate against him. A six-metre-large “Baby Trump”balloon, which represented the President in diapers, was inflated in front of the Parliament building. As Trump starred in his own Hotel in Scotland-Golf, flew a protester with a paraglider over the terrain.
Undeterred by this creative Protest Trump comes back to the UK – this time, Melania accompanied by his wife to a three-day state visit. To such a formal Visit by the Queen to invite himself, on a proposal from the government. State visits are marked by ceremonies, such as a carriage ride through London, or a Banquet in the Buckingham Palace. But the government also uses them in order to pursue national interests.
Mays last state guest
As Prime Minister Theresa May announced the visit of the US President in April, she said that it was an “opportunity to strengthen the already close ties to the United States in the areas of trade, investment, security and defense”. But since then, it has changed the political Situation in the Kingdom. In the meantime, May has set a date for their resignation. On 7. June, you will be leaving 10 Downing Street, only two days after trump’s visit.

“The significance of the visit has changed since the first Time we talked about it and a date was set,” says Matthew Cole, a history lecturer at the University of Birmingham. “The original Plan was, after the exit of the UK from the EU in support of the largest economy in the world by using the power of.” Of which, so far, has occurred nothing. “In this vacuum Trumps unpredictable behavior will be very important,” explains Cole. “Whom he will meet, for example, private? Nigel Farage, or even Boris Johnson?”
Protest of the new normal state
Protesters have announced to mobilize a large number of people. The Team behind the “Baby Trump”balloon collects the money to the diaper, the President of plastic carry again into the air. The organizers want to occupy the Trafalgar Square and the promise of a “atmosphere of the carnival”.
“Our Protest is not only to Trump our movement has never addressed, only against a man,” says Shaista Aziz, a member of the so-called “Stop the Trump coalition”. “We are demonstrating against Trumps state visit, but also against the politics of hate and division.” The greed of the companies count the Denial of climate change, hostile sentiments against refugees, open racism, attacks on women’s rights and against Trans – and homosexuals. “All that we see here in the UK, in the USA, anywhere in Europe, in Brazil, in India and other countries,” says Aziz.
Width rejection in London: protests in July 2018 against the US President, Trump
The state visit has been a long time coming. Theresa May invited Trump in January 2017. At that time, they visited the first foreign head of government to the President in Washington. Trump is only the third U.S. President, a state visit is accorded to George W. Bush in 2003, and Barack Obama in 2011.
An Unusual Visitor
Shortly before the resignation of the Prime Minister, while all the bearings of her political legacy in question, fit the visit of the unpopular US President only too well to the current standstill in the country. “A failed Prime Minister receives a failed President in Downing Street,” says Aziz. May have done nothing to heal the wounds of a greatly divided and crisis-ridden country. The government have used Trumps state visit, initially as a pressure medium to a trade agreement to negotiate in accordance with the Brexit, and to deepen the friendship between the two countries, says Aziz. “Now, the Brexit is dissolved in its original Form, the government is dissolved.”

Although Trump many of the honor of an official state to be granted a visit, there are, however, unusual. John Bercow, the speaker of the lower house, said he would “strongly dislike” that Trump, speaking, as usual, for a guest of state, in front of the Parliament. The President is to be racist and sexist, said Bercow. A final decision in the matter is still pending.
“A Human Game Ball Trump”
“At Trump, his presidency, and this state visit, nothing is normal,” says Aziz. “Trump is held, the protesters of the district and also the Parliament will not visit. This shows how the UK rejects Trump and his policy.”
During his last working visit to photos caused an uproar, where Trump and May Hand in Hand. It shows how a supposedly importance of gesture, the dominating news. “Every gesture and every word of a U.S. President may have a strong reaction,” says Cole. “Now the UK is in a more chaotic, more, less predictable Situation of upheaval. There will now be thrown out of the human game ball to Donald Trump.”
