It was originally reported that Trump would be visiting our shores in November after his visit to Papa New Guinea. However Mike Pence will visit our shores again to “highlight the United States’ vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific, based on respect for sovereignty, the rule of law, and the principles of free, fair, and reciprocal trade.” Yeah, good.

When the news first broke of an impending Trump visit, multiple protests in various cities were organised. One has made their posters available for you to download and print yourself here!
These protests are likely to go ahead anyway to protest Mike Pence’s visit because he’s also a terrible person. You can get the info on the protests here, and watch Mike Pence look extremely overdressed and uncomfortable at a zoo below.
