Donald Trump’s return to the international stage took a sharp turn the moment he touched down in the United Kingdom this week, when political activists hijacked the moment with a bold visual protest that’s now going viral. Just as the president and First Lady Melania Trump arrived at Windsor Castle for a ceremonial welcome with the British royal family, images of Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto the iconic castle walls, sending a clear and scandal-fueled message to both the visiting dignitaries and the watching world.
Trump’s current two-day visit to the UK, swaddled in tradition and royal pageantry, was billed as a rare diplomatic honor. In fact, Trump is the only American president to ever receive two formal state visits from the UK, a gesture typically reserved for the closest of allies. But outside the walls of Windsor Castle, the tone was anything but warm.
Activists used a high-powered projector to beam juxtaposed images of Trump and Epstein onto the historic fortress, triggering a media firestorm and reigniting debate about the former president’s controversial past associations.
Windsor Castle Goes Viral After Trump Projection
Screenshots of the stunt quickly began circulating on Instagram and X, where users couldn’t get enough of what they saw as a perfect clapback. “Windsor Castle is out here fighting the good fight,” one viral comment read, while another joked, “Gotta love the Brits for this.” Others chimed in asking, “Who did this? Can we send them a thank you card?” and “We need the same energy in the States!!”
One user wrote simply, “Love you England!!!” while another added, “The Brits know how to show up!” Some were even more direct. “They hate him too,” one commenter wrote, while another suggested, “Never let that man know a moment of peace.” Even actress Kelly Thiebaud joined the conversation, posting, “Love you England!!!” in response to the projection.
One commenter summed up the sentiment with a viral punch, “It would be so funny if we didn’t let him back into America… like sorry sir, we don’t allow convicted felons into the country.” As the post made the rounds across Instagram and TikTok, many dubbed it the “perfect greeting for a felon,” framing it as poetic justice for a man still facing scrutiny for past ties to Epstein, despite never being charged in connection with the disgraced financier.
