Police have seized a truck driving a billboard around Windsor Castle, where President Donald Trump is visiting for a state visit. The billboard showed a giant photo of convicted child abuser Jeffrey Epstein standing with Trump.
The National, a Scottish newspaper, uploaded a video showing the banner as it was driving down the street. A police officer is then seen stopping the truck, turning off the sign and driving off with it.
The same image was printed on a massive banner that was stretched along the path to Windsor Castle, intending for it to be visible when flying over.
"The British public welcomed him with THIS gigantic banner right outside Windsor Castle where he is staying with the King this week. Paid for by 1770 people," the group's caption read on Instagram. "This trip to the UK is about a polishing Trump's image so please DO NOT share this picture of the WORLD’S LARGEST PHOTO OF HIM WITH CONVICTED PEDO JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Thanks for co-operating at this difficult time for the President."
Euro News also reported that protesters have been creative with ways to display the image in other places. Mugs and China are available for sale with the image displayed reading "Never forget" and "in memory of a terrific guy," a reference to Trump's quote about Epstein.
The same sentiment is also displayed on a plaque of a park bench purporting to be located at the Trump golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland. It mocks, "See you very, very soon. From Donald."
