Protesters Target Trump's UK State Visit with Controversial Projection

Four activists have been arrested in the United Kingdom after projecting images of former US President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle during Trump's state visit. The protest, organized by the activist group Led By Donkeys, occurred just hours before Trump's arrival at the royal residence.

Controversial Imagery at Historic Castle

The projections included Trump's arrest mugshot from Georgia, alleged writings from Epstein's "little black book," and photographs showing the two men together at social events. Windsor Castle, the weekend residence of King Charles III, became an unlikely canvas for the political statement as Trump prepared for his official state visit.

"Any unauthorized activity around the castle is taken extremely seriously," a police chief told the BBC, explaining the swift response to the demonstration.

Background of Trump-Epstein Relationship

The relationship between Trump and Epstein dates back to the late 1980s when both were prominent figures in New York social circles. According to historical records from Wikipedia, the two men frequently visited each other's properties and were photographed together at numerous social events throughout the 1990s.

Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, had maintained friendships with numerous wealthy and influential figures. Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities and distanced himself from the financier in later years.

Public Reaction and Ongoing Protests

Approximately half of the British public has expressed opposition to Trump's visit, with multiple protests planned throughout his stay. This incident follows earlier attempts by activists to display large photographs of Trump with Epstein near the castle grounds.

The four arrested individuals face charges of "malicious communications" and remain in custody as investigations continue. The incident highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding Trump's relationships and the divided public opinion regarding his diplomatic visits.
