LONDON – Thousands of Trump supporters and right-wing activists took to the nation’s capital on Saturday — a day after anti-Trump protesters had dominated the city.

While the displays of right-wing support were nowhere near as large as the enormous anti-Trump march that demanded the international media’s attention the day before, it was still a significant show of support for Trump from those eager to counter the claim that Trump had been unanimously rejected by Britons.

The day started with a small pro-Trump rally outside the U.S. Embassy, featuring numerous red “MAGA” hats and U.S. and U.K. flags -- as well as a few anti-Hillary Clinton shirts.

Later, approximately 3,000 people turned out near Trafalgar Square to show their backing of Trump as well as jailed right-wing and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson.

The people who are pro-Trump there probably have jobs. Amazing how many people were available to protest yesterday. Maybe this IS their job? Is Soros paying them to be there, or is it just one big party financed by the British government in the form of welfare checks?

MI5 and Scotland Yard no doubt have indexed and catalogued all of the Trump supporters for later targeting.

The reason it’s a smaller number is because pro-Trump rallies were banned by Khan. Anti-Trump rallies are OK though.

>>While the displays of right-wing support were nowhere near as large as the enormous anti-Trump march

today’s pro-Trump rally was sent home by Londonistan guards (I refuse to call them police applying laws equally).

They always throw in the phrase “right-wing” in regard to Trump supporters, but rarely use “left-wing” in regard to anti-Trump protesters!

Maybe a few hundred ought to get deliberately arrested defying this, singing ‘60s protest songs? Crowd the jails, keep Tommy company?

Always right wing, or far right but when the left come out it is never left wing, but regarded as the people.
The media make me sick.

One of the speakers said that the police there told him that if they arrive with more than 3 in a group they could be arrested, or moved away.
