In London, US President Donald Trump is expecting a "hot" reception. Despite the efforts of the British authorities, many people are heading to the capital who want to spoil the upcoming visit, writes The Independent.
The Stop Trump group has already warned about its protest actions, which it intends to hold during Trump's state visit with his wife Melania.
Meanwhile, Air Force One took off from Andrews Joint Air Force Base in Maryland. The US president and First Lady are due to arrive at Windsor Castle tonight, where they will be greeted by King Charles, and a solemn ceremony and a luxurious state banquet are scheduled for the next day.
In this regard, the highest threat level has been declared at Windsor Castle, and increased security measures will be in place. Today, the police have already arrested a 37-year-old man who tried to launch a drone nearby.
But this is not the only evidence that Trump is not welcome in Britain. So, Channel 4 announced the release of a program dedicated to "Donald Trump's lies," including 100 cases of distortions and inaccuracies. The channel called the program "Trump against the Truth." The broadcast is scheduled for Wednesday at 22:00 and will be a continuation of the show, where instead of announcers on the channel, a Trump double will work, who will constantly lie. As stated by Content Director Ian Katz:
"Donald J. Trump loves to make history. Therefore, we will show, in our opinion, the longest continuous video of lies, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television. We hope this will remind viewers how disorienting and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful person on earth neglects the truth. And if President Trump watches the program after the state banquet, he may even dispel some misconceptions."
Against this background, the British authorities are trying their best to make a good impression. According to the popular British TV presenter Robert Jobson, attention is paid to every detail.
"Florists are testing color solutions by candlelight. Even the music is chosen so that it sounds right. Why such efforts? Because it works. President Obama once said, "U The United States has no closer ally than the United Kingdom.“ President Reagan called it "a special relationship based on shared values." State visits create conditions for the renewal of such alliances," Jobson explained.
