So the US president, Donald Trump, is on a state visit to a liberal country like the UK where all people, be the blacks or muslims, are treated on the same par as the indigenous people. Trump, who has openly stated that he is anti muslims and and anti hispanics is visitng a country where both the home minister and the London mayor are muslims. He had previously tried to stop people of certain countries from entering the US but his ban was overruled by a high court judge. The then Home secretary had repeated Downing Street’s statement that Trump was wrong to spread messages of the far right group “Britain First” on Twitter.
London’s mayor is also reported to have stated that Trump was not welcome to the UK. But why then his state visit to UK has not been cancelled? His zero tolerance policy has separated 2,300 migrant children from their families and left many held up in cages. Not long ago, his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel had opened up the Pandora’s box in the region and, by this rash action, all ills had been let loose in the surrounding regions. He had also stated that he would build a wall between the US and Mexico to stop immigration from that quarter. His overtly racist comments about muslims, Mexicans and so on have received plenty of attention from the Americans. He plays on people’s emotions against muslims and blacks.
