Europeans angry with policies of Trump's America

Many Europeans hold US President Donald Trump in disdain for his views. Thousands of people protested against his visit to Britain in July and some British politicians called for him to be banned from entering the country because of his administration's discriminatory immigration policies.

Their rejection of what he stands for was fully exhibited on Sunday when Trump joined world leaders in Paris to mark the centennial of the end of World War I, only to hear French President Emmanuel Macron who said under the Arc de Triomphe that "nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism". It was a message directed at Trump, who recently claimed to be a nationalist.

On Wednesday, French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux also publicly denounced Trump for displaying a lack of "common decency" after the US president took to Twitter to attack Macron on Tuesday, when the French were mourning the anniversary of the 2015 Paris terror attacks that killed 130 people and injured more than 300.
