Led By Donkeys used Boris Johnson’s words on Trump to troll them both
Ahead of his state visit to the UK, Donald Trump has been sharing his thoughts on who should become leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore Prime Minister, with a resounding endorsement for Boris Johnson. What could it possibly be about the American-born blond buffoon that makes him so popular with the President?
However, the feeling may not be mutual, with Johnson being highly critical of Trump in the past, as this clip unequivocally shows.
Hi @realDonaldTrump you know how you endorsed Boris Johnson to be prime minister (despite an imminent criminal case that could land him in jail)…well here he is calling you "stupefyingly ignorant" and "Unfit to hold the office of president" pic.twitter.com/w8m5YmepPd

As bad as it is for both men that these words are bouncing around the internet, the brilliant Brexit protest campaign group, Led By Donkeys has taken it a step further, as only they can.
Hey @realDonaldTrump, you just endorsed your Brexit buddy @BorisJohnson but he said some VERY NASTY things about you and he doesn’t want you to know. So we projected his words onto Big Ben. Watch with the SOUND ON #TrumpUKVisit pic.twitter.com/etUb6tk9eX

I do hope you’ve got lots planned for the next three days…

This might be your best work yet! Sad that these two live in a world where what they said yesterday means sod all today.

Worth more than a thousand protest marches, and actually sums them both up! Well done as usual 🙌

Someone named @iamaweasel noticed one slight issue with the public shaming –
You know what they say about a stopped clock.
