Trump Flies to London For Historic Second State Visit, Will Be Fêted by Royals and Protested by LeftOliver JJ Lane 16 Sep 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania are flying into the United Kingdom to arrive late Tuesday evening for a unprecedented second state visit, the only foreign leader to have ever been extended such a courtesy.
President Trump hailed “elegant gentleman” King Charles III before he boarded Air Force One for the transatlantic flight to the United Kingdom on Tuesday morning. The President and First lady are due to arrive around 2100 UK time before travelling to Windsor Castle to sleep the night.
This is the first time a foreign leader has ever been invited to two state visits, the last having taken place in 2019. The rationale for the double is that since 2019 there has been a break in Trump’s presidency, and the previous host, Queen Elizabeth II died with a new monarch on the throne. Unspoken but more important is the diplomacy push by London to make the most of having an openly Anglophile President in the White House, and of his known fondness for the British Royals.
But for left-wing groups, the fêting of President Trump by the British state is a disaster to be resisted. While the President will not be coming into central London during his time in the United Kingdom, a protest is called outside Parliament on Wednesday, and another, smaller, protest is planned for Windsor town on Tuesday night, reports The Guardian.
A call to action by the left-wing group planning the London action and previously behind the 2019 ‘Trump Baby Blimp‘ has come under severe criticism for its use of fake news events, and for hyperbolic language that claims the coming of the U.S. President presages a fascist takeover of the United Kingdom. Fronted by left-wing activist Zoe Gardner, the dialogue stated: “There’s a darkness coming. It’s already swallowed America, and now it’s coming for us too”.
Among the fake news events reported in the clip were British cities being in flames as a fictional future government deported migrants, the creation of an anti-woke paramilitary force, and English flags being hung off Tower Bridge. As noted by The Daily Telegraph, Conservative shadow minister Chris Philp said the rhetoric was clearly dangerous, coming as it did in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the American political activist.
Philip told the paper: “This is hysterical scaremongering by people who are clearly unhinged. The idea that welcoming the democratically elected leader of our closest ally could open the door to some sort of fascism is obviously absurd. These people need to reconnect with reality. This sort of stuff risks inflaming tensions and inciting violent mobs.
