Well yes but he's the democratically elected president of The United States, by US citizens, and any protest about him coming to the UK / interacting with the UK is surely a protest against him having any political influence over the UK... Where he is not an elected anything.

I mean I would understand your point if there was a planeload of British folks heading to Washington to stage an anti-Trump demonstration... But that's not what's happening. No one is protesting against the democratically elected Trump doing whatever it is he does in his own country... Only when he boards a plane and brings his rhetoric to nations where he is not president?
