Donald Trump UK visit: Reports of July trip spark outrage online as activists promise protests 'like we have never seen before'

Reports suggesting US President Donald Trump will visit the UK in July sparked outrage online, with many promising mass protests "like we have never seen before".

Sky News quoted sources as saying that he would carry out the trip in mid-July of this year. The visit is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.

The US president previously cancelled a trip to open his country's new embassy in London, citing its move from Grosvenor Square to the Nine Elms site, near Battersea, as a "bad deal".

In a wave of online anger, Twitter user Beluga Hugh wrote: "I'm looking forward to being part of the biggest anti Trump rally seen so far. I hope it is the most peaceful and positive 'f*** off' the world has ever seen."

Christopher Newell said: "This man should not be allowed into this country. I care not a jot about the politics. It's simple - he is evil."

@OdetoaKoalaBear added: "If Trump sets foot on UK soil there will be mass protests like this island has never seen."

Meanwhile Stephanie Wooton said: "Trump wants to visit the UK? Yet no-one from the UK wants him near, he knows this...Unless he's taking May with him, he can stay away."

Some were more positive about Trump's visit, however, denouncing his detractors as "leftists".

@Sgt_Yoda said: "Please have a UK rally for us supporters when you visit [Donald Trump.] Disregard the pretentious London leftist elites."

Kevin Thomas added: "Looking forward to President [Donald Trump] visiting the UK...

"Hopefully the hysterical anti-Trump morons won't spoil too much with their temper tantrums."
