Protests Against President Trump Far Smaller Than Predicted



Daily Mail: Ranting Corbyn accuses Trump of 'creating a sense of hate' but refuses to mention the President by name - as tens of thousands of protesters FAIL to show up for demonstration

* Tens of thousands of people fail to turn up the anti-Donald Trump 'carnival of resistance' in London today
* Lacklustre crowd at Parliament Square hears Jeremy Corbyn deliver firebrand speech against Mr Trump
* Organisers radically downgraded their predictions for turnout to only a third of their original number
* Corbyn did not mention the President by name but played on familiar themes of his critics in speech

Jeremy Corbyn this afternoon delivered a firebrand speech to anti-Donald Trump protesters in London - obliquely accusing the President of 'creating a sense of hate' and fostering racism.

In an extraordinary speech for a politician who could one day have to work with Mr Trump, the Labour leader did not mention the President by name but played on familiar themes of his critics in a high-energy speech.

Mr Corbyn also sprung to the defence of London Mayor Sadiq Khan one day after he was called a 'stone cold loser' by Mr Trump - and suggested the President had 'created a greater sense of hate and hatred'.

The 70-year-old politician who hopes to one day become Britain's prime minister spoke as tens of thousands of protesters failed to turn up to anti-Trump demonstrations today which had been billed as a 'carnival of resistance'.

WNU Editor: From the videos that I have seen, a few tens of thousand activists did show up. I am not surprised. This is London after-all. But it is not the 250,000 that many in the media were saying yesterday would show up.

Media lies
Russia not going anywhere. They basically made America look stupid in their own backyard

Yesterday the British press was reporting Trump snubbed May by not meeting with her.
More Fake News. The British press are far more openly partisan than the US press. The British press are open about their leanings whereas the US press pretends they play no politics when of course they are nearly uniformly left wing.

The Media is so bad, having to admit Executed officials in North Korea are actually alive. Makes for good headlines and click bait.
