Trump: Brits react to Trump claim that he is very popular in UK and they want him to visit...

In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump was questioned over anger about the invitation extended to him by Prime Minister Theresa May on behalf of the Queen.

Mr Trump said: 'I think I'm very popular in your country.'

Morgan interjects: 'Let's not be too hasty Mr President.'

Mr Trump went on: 'I know but I believe that, I really do. I get so much fan mail from people in your country.

'They love my sense of security, they love what I'm saying about many different things.

'We get tremendous support from people in the UK.'

Asked about opposition to his state visit by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Mr Trump is quick to say 'I don't know the man'.


Several people also wondered about a strange cover on President's water glass
Others made memes mocking the President's claim to be very popular in UK



Plenty of people also took the chance to make memes mocking the President, with one Twitter user writing, 'He's right, most of the UK wants him to visit', next to an image of a man being hit with a pie.

Dude, come on. You are (gag) the President of the United States (gag).

Stop acting like such a spoiled brat. Go to charm school, already.

I'm also fairly sure that if the President is doing his job properly then he won't have any spare time to read fan mail!

I used to think that was a book by Carlos Castaneda. It's actually Donald Trump's life. Trump has no ties to the normality most human beings enjoy. He's off in a separate world, where whatever he says is the reality of his realm. It's a very, very lonely place.

All his Minecraft building blocks are gold with a big "T" embossed on each. No dogs or sharks or other animals in his version, though.

My granddaughter plays that on her tablet and she gets lost in her space sometimes just like Dirty Donald.

what are you down in the WH mail room reading letters from the beloved following? And yeah, i bet the people of the UK are just so thrilled to have you as someone else's President that they are taking time out of their day to right a letter of gratitude to you. Geez, this guy is insufferable.

Hardcore UKIP supporters, Brexshitters and the generally bigoted are liable think of President Fart as "a breath of fresh air" and as something of an amusement and a jolly jape.

Of course the reality of the situation is that putting somebody like that in such a position of responsibility is anything but a jolly jape!
