'We love you, Donald, we do': The Britons who want a Trump of their own
by Rob Crilly | June 03, 2019 05:52 PM
The small band of Trump enthusiasts was unmistakable among the foreign tourists thronging the front of Buckingham Palace.
They wore MAGA hats and campaign T-shirts, but in one respect were unmistakably British.
“We love you, Donald, we do,” they sang before President Trump’s arrival on Monday, adapting a favorite soccer chant for their own purposes. “Oh, Donald, we love you.”
Although the headlines may have been dominated by flying baby blimps and British politicians scoring points for domestic political purposes, Trump is more popular in the U.K. than most other major European countries.
With Theresa May stepping down after a string of parliamentary defeats and the chaos of Brexit, people such as Jennifer Holdcroft, 70, say they ache for a leader who leads.
“We in this country have not had a strong, proper leader for decades,” she said. “That’s what we are lacking.”
She and her husband traveled by train from Stoke-on-Trent for Trump’s visit. The city was once the heart of the U.K.’s pottery industry but was more recently nicknamed the “Brexit capital of Britain” after almost 70% of voters backed leaving the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
Many of the themes that persuaded Britons to split from the E.U., economic independence, immigration, jobs, will be familiar to Americans who backed Trump.
