In advance of the arrival of the widely-respected (snicker), well-loved (giggle) President of the United States, one of the country’s brightest you students decided to “erect” a monument to the visiting dignitary that he could never miss.
Ollie Nancarrow of Essex used a lawnmower to inscribe a stiff message about climate change for Trump, who the A-student knows does not share his views on conservation. To that end, he mowed an image of a polar bear and the phrase “climate change is real” into the grass near his home. But it’s what he mowed into the adjacent field that has everyone’s attention.
Uh, yeah. That would get my attention if I were flying over as well — which Trump was quite recently. Nancarrow’s home in Hatfield Heath is right next to Stansted Airport, which hosted Trump’s arrival Monday morning.
Nancarrow told British media that it was definitely a climate change protest message — Trump’s position on the topic has been quite clear since long before the election, but was drawn into sharp contrast with most of the rest of the industrialized world when he unceremoniously pulled the United States out of the carefully-crafted and long-negotiated Paris Climate Accord.
Donald Trump and his denial of climate change are not welcome and I want him to be fully aware of that when he flies in to Stansted on Monday.”
Of course, Ollie’s not the only Englander who wasn’t looking forward to the visit. Throngs of Brits have turned out to protest the President’s arrival, which has already been marked by angry tweets from Air Force One before he even landed, royal insults, and a clear strain on Trump’s relationship with First Lady Melania Trump, who was captured on film completely rejecting her husband’s grip as he tried to hold her hand on the tarmac after exiting the plane.
If it weren’t for Barron, we imagine Melania would wish Trump had pulled out of more than the Paris Accord — but then what would Ollie have had for inspiration?
