As the US President and his entourage headed down the Mall to visit the Queen he might well have expected thousands of people there to see him. Perhaps adoring fans would wave flags to welcome his arrival?
However, it didn’t turn out the way as the following tweets will show. It seems that the people of London had better things to do today and police numbers appear to have outnumbered supporters.

Me: “You lot look really busy. Were you expecting more people?”

Police officer: “A few more.”
Me: “It’s quite funny… Depending on your viewpoint, of course.”
Police officer: “Trust me, it’s very funny.” pic.twitter.com/s20m6S7JNn

This was my picture seconds after the #Trump convoy returned up The Mall from #WestminsterAbbey. More police than people to police. pic.twitter.com/ets6HPPaDf

On my way to talk to @CNN about the #TrumpUKVisit and the police numbers as oppose to actual people walking down the Mall is ridiculous, I have to say. Literally no one likes Trump ? pic.twitter.com/N96gehmYD2

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
