UK - FLOTUS Visits Veterans And Children As Trump Protesters Take Over London

Just as the whole past week, First Lady Melania Trump continued to stun onlookers with her fashion choices, this time touring the Royal Hospital in Chelsea together with Mr Philip May, husband of UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

Ms Trump played a game of good old fashioned British bowls with the children and clearly enjoyed herself during day two of the Trump’s UK visit.

The British Army veterans, known as the Chelsea Pensioners, were delighted to meet up with FLOTUS.

The visit was surrounded by protesters, who amongst placards, also launched the famous ‘Trump Baby Balloon’ an event allowed by London Mayor Mr Sadiq Khan.

Asked during an interview what he felt about all the organized protests in London, US President Mr Trump stated: “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.”

“I used to love London as a city. I haven’t been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?”

“And when I say that I am talking about government because the people of the UK agree with me.”

During the interview in The Sun, Mr Trump also reiterated his criticism of London Mayor Mr Sadiq Khan, whom he states has done a ‘terrible job.’

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mrs Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/FLOTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FLOTUS</a> has met school children during her visit to the hospital.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Asked about those comments and the protests going on in the British capital, London Mayor Mr Sadiq Khan said: “The great thing about our city is you can have a fraternal and positive relationship with a country and its citizens but disagree in a mature and adult way with the president.”

“One of the great things about having a best friend as we do with America is we can call you out when we think you’re wrong … I think we shouldn’t be afraid of doing so.”
