BARNSLEY, England – President Trump's three-day visit to the United Kingdom will be greeted by throngs of protesters marching through London, many carrying expletive-laden placards and with an enormous “Trump baby” balloon flying overhead.
Meanwhile, liberal media voices in the U.S. and U.K. assure their audiences that Brits are overwhelmingly united against Trump and his policies.
But here in the north of England, particularly among those who supported Brexit -- Britain’s departure from the European Union -- opinions of Trump are far more nuanced, with many even offering strong support of the president.

Not only in the UK, but I have spoken to a lot of right-wing people in the Netherlands, they all support Trump.

Of course, we know which side the MSM will focus on. To them, a story has only one side: theirs.

And the only news foreigners get about Trump, comes from our Leftist Media and is then filtered through their Leftist Media.

Immigration is reaching crisis proportions in Europe. In time many will see Trump as a visionary. By that time, however, it may be too late. Sharia law will be in place.

Hey UK...how you like your “democracy”. You vote for something to do...like bail out on that criminal EU (that you never approved) and your “leaders” give you a resounding “FU!”
Now you know why you’ve been disarmed and flooded with subversives?

Interesting. Barnsley is near Sheffield and a once stronghold of Labour. They are a no-nonsense people.

Working class...meaning those who need a shower at the end of the day rather than those who need a bong to reduce the stress of all the thinking they did at work.
