It doesn’t look like President Donald Trump is getting a very warm welcome now that he and wife Melania have landed in the UK for their state visit with the royal family. Just in time for their arrival, protest groups have begun multiple demonstrations against Trump … including unrolling a major banner featuring a huge photo of him with Jeffrey Epstein directly in front of Windsor Castle.
The protests began before Trump’s visit even started.
Oh dear. Not such a great diplomatic start. Protesters managed to project images of Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew onto the outside walls of Windsor Castle. #Trump #statevisit pic.twitter.com/yO0fnqk5Sa

The night before Trump’s arrival, protesters projected images of Trump and convicted sexual predator Epstein together on the stone walls of Windsor Castle. ITV News reported that four people had been arrested in connection with the projections on suspicion of “malicious communications.”
But that wasn’t the only demonstration that took place. Another photo of Epstein and Trump was shared — this time, in the form of an absolutely massive banner.
Wednesday morning, the banner was unfurled.
On Wednesday, a group called Everyone Hates Elon (referencing Elon Musk, of course) took responsibility for displaying a huge banner featuring Trump and Epstein in front of Windsor Castle, sharing a picture of their work on Instagram.
“The British public welcomed him with THIS gigantic banner right outside Windsor Castle where he is staying with the King this week. Paid for by 1770 people,” said the post.
Will and Kate were the first to welcome the Trumps.
Despite the protests, so far, the Trumps’ visit to the UK has gone off without a hitch. Prince William and Kate Middleton were the first to greet the couple when their plane touched down, followed by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
As Trump shook Kate’s hand, he told her, “You’re beautiful, so beautiful.”
The visit already isn’t getting the best reception from royal watchers.
Judging by the video of Trump’s arrival that was shared on Will and Kate’s official Instagram account, it doesn’t seem like people are too pleased that the couple has to interact with him in the first place.
“This is when the royal family’s acting skills come in handy. Hang in there, Kate,” one person wrote, while another commenter quipped, “Hope Kate has some hand sanitizer in that bag.”
