Trump Meets with Theresa May as Protesters Blast His U.K. Visit
---------------------------------------------------------------

As President Trump continues his state visit to Britain, meeting with
outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May today, Londoners have come out in
droves to protest his policies. On Monday, demonstrators gathered near
Buckingham Palace as the Trump family attended a state dinner with the
British royals.

Marcia Feldman: "I'm here to protest against Donald Trump's misogyny,
his racism, his-just everything about him, his profiting off the
presidency, separating children from their families, pulling out the
climate agreement. He's just a horrible person."

Before arriving in Britain, Trump insulted London's first Muslim mayor,
Sadiq Khan, after he called out Trump's divisive, far-right policies,
tweeting, "Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent
Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job–only
half his height." He also called Khan a "stone cold loser" after
arriving in London. He also insulted African-American Royal Duchess of
Sussex Meghan Markle, after learning she opposed his 2016 candidacy,
telling a British newspaper she was "nasty."

Trump is expected to discuss a possible new trade deal with Prime
Minister May and business leaders today as Britain prepares to exit from
the European Union later this year.
