U.K.'s Ego-Booster for Trump Forced to Be Staged Away from the Public

Four people were arrested following the projection of pictures of convicted felon Donald Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto one of the towers of Windsor castle, where the U.S. president is set to be hosted by King Charles during his state visit to Britain.

Pictures of Epstein's victims, news clips of the case and police reports were also projected onto the walls of the castle tower.  Earlier on Tuesday, protesters also unfurled a massive banner on public grounds near Windsor castle, which featured a photograph of Trump and Epstein.   Trump was friends with Epstein before becoming president, but had a falling out with the former financier years before his mysterious death in prison.  Trump has been trying (desperately) to tamp down public interest in his connections with Epstein and the DOJ's secret files on the sex offender-- but to no avail. 

Today, Trump and his wife, the King and Queen, and the Prince and Princess of Wales today will take part in a carriage procession, escorted by the Royal Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.  The route will be lined by members of the Armed Forces, with military bands from the Royal Marines, the Army and the RAF.  In anticipation of the visit, protesters have purchased advertising space on bus stops and billboards around the town of Windsor, highlighting Trump's connection to Epstein.  Merchandise featuring the infamous duo is also widely on sale in stores and shops throughout the town.  Pathetically, to avoid embarrassing Trump (and wanting to spare Trump the embarrassment of boos and chants from local residents), the U.K. made the decision to stage the procession behind the castle walls and take place only on the private grounds of Windsor.
