We love Donald Trump: U.S. president's UK fans look forward to visit, denounce protests

LONDON (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to turn out against Donald Trump when he visits Britain next week but some believe the protests are an embarrassment and that the U.S. president deserves a warm welcome.

Trump will arrive in Britain on July 12 for a "working visit", a more sober affair than the original plan for a state visit with its customary pomp and pageantry after it drew threats of mass protests. But anti-Trump demonstrators are still planning to show up, to the dismay - and glee - of his UK supporters.

"He’s coming into the lion’s den and it is going to be really fun to watch," said Londoner Jack Smith, 28, at a party to celebrate U.S. independence from Britain on July 4.

"I’m looking forward to the protest quite frankly, who isn’t? It’s going to be really fun seeing all of these liberals whose world view was shattered back when he was elected in November 2016."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has had a number of social media spats with the president, on Thursday gave permission for a blimp portraying Donald Trump as an orange, snarling baby to be flown over parliament.

#3 The Trump baby blimp over parliament is a pretty insulting g act. We should consider a Brexit balloon for the same period?
