The View From The UK About Trump’s Visit
American Thinker ^ | 20 Sep, 2025 | Tom Armstrong

When Donald Trump landed in Britain this week, the air was thick with anticipation. Many hoped he would blow Starmer’s door down and expose him for the tyrant he is. Of course, the dreary MSM, led by the BBC and Guardian, made out that he’d come to a hostile nation, detested by the public and despised, barely tolerated, by the political class.

Yet the reality was the opposite. Trump was greeted warmly, not only by the Royal Family, who laid on a display of pomp and ceremony unmatched in recent years, but also by most Britons, who received him with quiet approval. The orchestrated protests, no doubt funded by the Establishment and their oligarch friends in the US, were small and tired. The cameras zoomed in on insulting placards, but most people were quietly glad to see Trump treated with respect.

The usually stiff Royals flattered Trump openly. Trump’s speech at Windsor was warm and appreciative, reminding us that the “special relationship” is alive, even if Britain’s politicians undermine it. The President relished the attention, smiling broadly, flirting with Princess Kate, and soaking in the grandeur of British tradition. The contrast was stark: while the Royals honoured him, the people welcomed him, the government and media treated him as though he were, at best, a nuisance to be endured. This tension revealed far more about Britain’s political climate than it did about Trump himself.

To be fair, our robotic weirdo of a Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, did his best to maintain a smooth diplomatic face, but the visit unsettled him. Trump was not content with polite small talk. He gave Starmer blunt advice, in straight language that our own politicians avoid at all costs. Use the military to secure your borders, he said

Britain will have to make it unbearable to get the migrants to go home. The muslims will be difficult to deal with and I don’t think the UK politicians have the backbone for it.

Watching our president interact with British royalty along with all the accompanying gild and glitter, I was reminded of a quote from that legendary opinion-maker, Lt. Frank Drebin:

“No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us as Americans, we must be gracious and considerate hosts.”

The Brits desperately need a Trump of their own.

I was concerned about how Trump’s State Visit to Britain was going to go so I have been keeping an eye out for any news or a recap about how it went.

I have seen zero coverage in the US media about the trip. When I saw this thread I clicked through and read the whole article.

Things seem to have gone quite well. Trump calmly made the case that Britain must defend its boarders and they should strike a trade deal with America.

The message made Britain’s political class uncomfortable and was roundly scorned in their press, but the general public reacted positively.

Well done Mr. President.

Muslims are an opportunistic virus that only advances when the host is weak. Post Christian Sodomite countries have no immune system to stop Al Hijrah.

Some welcomed him, some called him every name in the book.

The muslims will be difficult to deal with...


It should be pretty easy to begin. Deport anyone on welfare. Deport anyone with multiple wives. Deport anyone who has not become fluent in English. Deport anyone in a mosque that supports the Islamification of England.

That should take care of a substantial number.
