A Double Dose of Spiteful Propaganda Can’t Ruin Trump’s State Visit to the UKTownhall, Jun 4, 2019, Robert Wasinger
During the trip, the president had to contend not just with the American fake news media and the Democrats, but also with the famously savage British press and kook British leftist politicians trying to raise their own profiles by slamming Trump.
Matters are made worse by the fact that Brexit — the shock to the British establishment that closely paralleled the election of Donald Trump — just got another decisive “yes†from the British people. Much to the chagrin of the globalists who detest Donald Trump, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party took first place in the U.K.’s elections for European Parliament a mere six weeks after the Party’s founding, and anti-Brexit parties failed to deliver anything like a rebuke to 2016’s referendum decision to withdraw from the European Union.
A wounded animal is at its most vicious, and that’s true of politicians, as well. Still licking their wounds from Brexit’s second big win, the British left is lashing out at the biggest symbol they can find for their troubles: the visiting president of the United States.
London’s attention-hungry leftist mayor, Sadiq Khan, ran his mouth again, calling the president a “growing global threat†and reiterating his Party’s contention that Donald Trump is too controversial to visit the U.K.
