British protestors have brutally trolled Donald Trump ahead of his state visit to the UK this week.
Back in February in his first visit to the White House with Trump as president, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer handed Trump an invitation from King Charles III for a 'truly historic' and 'unprecedented' second state visit.
The POTUS said it was a 'great, great honour', with Trump set to arrive in the UK alongside the First Lady, Melania Trump, on Tuesday (September 16).
When Trump visited the UK for his first state visit six years ago, protests took place across the UK as many brits made their feelings clear about the Republican president.

And before Trump has even touched down in Britain, protestors are already trolling the US president, after one activist placed what she described as 'merchandise' inside the Windsor Castle gift shop.
A viral clip sees an image of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein standing side-by-side back in the day printed onto a mug.
"Epstein and Trump Merchandise has appeared at the Windsor Castle gift shop among other stores around England ahead of Trump’s visit. The people aren’t happy about his visit and will make it as uncomfortable as possible for him!" the social media user@Suzierizzo1 wrote, as per The Mirror.
Other merchandise, which is also not available in the official Windsor Castle gift shop, includes plates with the picture from the 1990s on that are topped off with Royal imagery.
Another Instagram account stated the unofficial merchandise has since been removed, with a spokesperson for the Royal Collection Trust telling the Mirror it 'would not comment on security matters'.
The Epstein case has been plunged back into the spotlight again in recent months following the Trump administration's apparent U-turn on its intentions to release all the FBI files related to it.
More recently, the Democrats on the Oversight Committee shared an image allegedly taken from Epstein's 'birthday book', which they claim was sent to the convicted sex offender on his 50th birthday.
“HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist,” the caption stated.
“Trump talks about a 'wonderful secret' the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!”
The president dismissed speculation it was him who penned the letter, telling press: “It's not my signature and it's not the way I speak. Anybody that has covered me for a long time know that's not my language. It's nonsense.”
