One London pub owner is on a mission to thank President Donald Trump and let him know the city’s mayor does not speak for everyone.
Damien Smyth is temporarily changing the name of his pub, The Jameson to “The Trump Arms” to celebrate the U.S. president’s visit to the UK next week. Breitbart reported.
The Hammersmith pub owner is also planning a “Welcome Trump” party “to show solidarity with the U.S. people and the President.”
“We’re the greatest friends in the world and natural buddies,” Smyth told Breitbart London. “We want to show solidarity. We want to thank Trump for making the world safe again.”
The West London landlord, who is originally from Ireland and is married to a New Yorker, wants to be sure Trump knows that the British “are not all crazy protesters.”
“It’s so important to let people know we’re old family and old friends,” Smyth said.
Th party is planned for Saturday July 14 as Trump arrives in the UK Friday as part of a wider European trip. Patrick Sullivan, the organizer behind The Art of the Party, which pays homage to Trump’s bestselling novel “The Art of the Deal,” has been inundated with support for the event.
“The number of Trump supporters is quite something,” Sullivan said. “There is interest coming from up and down the country.”
Noting that Trump is “more in tune with real Brits,” Sullivan wanted the message to get out that London’s leftist Mayor Sadiq Khan is not representative of the people.
“We wanted to show that the negative press put out by Sadiq Khan doesn’t represent the whole of London or the country,” Sullivan told Breitbart.
The city’s Muslim mayor, who has been a vocal critic of Trump as the two have engaged in a war of words since last year, had called for the president’s trip to be cancelled and said he was “not welcome” to the city.
Khan has now given his approval for a “Trump baby” inflatable balloon to fly over London next week as the president visits.
Brexit leader Nigel Farage blasted the move to allow the 19-foot balloon to fly over British parliament as the “biggest insult to a sitting U.S. president ever.”
“Let me ask you, does any of you seriously think that if an application to fly an Obama blimp, of Obama as a young, crying baby above Parliament Square when he came here during the referendum to tell us to vote remain, do you actually think that would have been allowed?” he asked on his LBC radio show.
A counter-protest campaign has also reportedly been launched to fly a “baby Khan” balloon at the same time.
“President Donald J. Trump has Made America Great Again and has Made the World Safe Again,” the Trump party website states. “The FAKE NEWS Media would have you believe that we don’t like President Trump in this country but that is because they never speak to REAL voters.”
“This is real Britain,” Sullivan said. “Real London. This is what the mainstream media fails to cover so often. All they portray to the rest of the world is the ‘Westminster Bubble’” — the British equivalent of the Washington, D.C., ‘Swamp’.
Great idea, except President Trump does not drink.
Yeah but he will stop by a drinking establishment to meet people and get something non-alcoholic.
I hope he’s got some “proud boys” on hand to protect it from antifa and jihadis.
This visit should be interesting since the Britons just got sandbagged on Brexit.
Theresa May just sold out to Brussels and I’ve got to believe the rank-and-file are steaming mad.
Bu-Bye Theresa. You could have been Iron Lady II, but...
Watch. Some UK SJW comes in and makes a fool of herself, and khan the muzzy lets her off scot free.
That’s a million dollars worth of free PR right there!
Hope he’s not retaliated against.
That’s okay, Nigel. The US is overdue to nuke Parliament as reparations for burning down our White House.
We’ll call it “even.”
Well he maybe, but a few England First boys (me included) are travelling down to Scumdon on Friday morning.
We will be splitting into four bands of twenty, with gumshields and shin protectors and aim to steam into some of the liberals/musrats, then disappear, re-engage, and then travel home with a change of clothing (to give CCTV cameras the slip).
I realise that I may have compromised next week’s plan but having read on FR some of the comments about us being girlymen, I feel compelled to show you that there are still some Englishmen who will turn nasty if pushed.
Brave of them considering the lack of support in that country for the US. They only tolerate us when we are fighting and dying for them. Never again.
We in America have been praying for the John Bull Jingoists to stand up and be counted. The British Nation would have been better off cutting ties with former colonies rather than keeping them on a string and allowing the reverse colonization happening now.
He doesn’t drink, but he does celebrate. All State dinners, functions, the inaugural parties, etc., have alcohol. I believe I saw him attending a few of them.
That’s not the point.
I wonder if Mayor Kook (er sorry, I meant Khan) will have the health department shut it down...I bet he’ll try it...
The only time he will be in London is Thursday night, to stay at Ambassador Robert “Woody” Johnson’s London residence. Thursday evening, he’s going to a dinner at Blenheim Palace (Churchill’s ancestral home). On Friday, he and Theresa May will tour an undisclosed defense site, prior to holding talks at the Prime Minister’s summer home outside of London. Later, he’ll meet the Queen at Windsor Castle. He and the First Lady will more than likely be flying to Scotland on Friday evening as they are spending the weekend there, before heading to Helsinki to meet with Putin on July 16th.
lolol...mohammedans everywhere

The pub owner needs to be careful. He is currently living in a country with a vindictive totalitarian government. They arrest people for taking pictures and them put them in prisons with people will kill him given the chance.
