A video claims to show a pro-President Trump rally during his state visit to the UK. The video is of pro-Trump crowds at a rally, but not from this year; it’s from his visit to the UK in 2018. A video claims to show an anti-President Trump protest during his state visit to the UK. The video is of an anti-Trump protest, but not from this year; it’s from his visit to the UK in 2018. A video that was widely circulated on social media (including one tweet that has since been deleted), claiming to show the size of crowds at an anti-President Trump protest during his state visit to the UK in June 2019, is wrongly identified. The video is BBC aerial footage of an anti-Trump protest in the UK, but it took place during his previous visit to the country, on 13 July 2018. Another video that was widely circulated on social media claimed to show a pro-President Trump rally during the 2019 state visit. This is also wrongly identified: the video is likewise from the President’s previous visit to the UK. It shows pro-Trump chanting at a Free Tommy Robinson rally that took place on 14 July 2018. There was an anti-Trump protest in London during the state visit, on 4 June 2019, although it was smaller than the one in 2018. There were also protests in other locations around the UK, and some clashes between protesters and pro-Trump counter-protesters.
