Trump UK visit: The best tweets about the president's presence | indy100 | indy100

Donald Trump has returned to the UK for Nato's 70th anniversary summit, but not everyone's happy to see him.

Trump will also be hosted at Buckingham Palace along with other world leaders. Some are speculating that even this will be awkward given Trump and Prince Andrew's old friendships with Jeffrey Epstein.

But no one can greet an unwanted visitor quite like the British people.

But people were more interested in what he might say about the election.

A resurfaced video of a young Boris Johnson calling for the NHS to be broken up into monopolies has people even more worried about him meeting Trump.

Protests at Trump's arrival might not have been so ferocious this year, with our own floppy-haired leader dominating headlines.

But the British people have still made their feelings clear at the president's visit.
