Were there more Trump fans than critics?

Absolutely not. There were small pockets of pro-Trump fans wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and holding US flags, but these were vastly outnumbered by those opposed to the president, and there was no separate organised rally in support of Mr Trump.

The fact police were forced to lock a group of around 20 pro-Trump activists in a pub for their own safety suggests there were many more on the streets who were opposed to the president’s visit.

Video and photo evidence supports the suggestion that Trump supporters did not attend in significant numbers.

Weyman Bennett, from Unite Against Fascism, who was on the march, said he had been made aware by police of between 25 and 35 pro-Trump demonstrators.

Videos shared by Trump fans apparently showing crowds in support of the president on Tuesday have also been debunked.

Responding to Mr Trump's tweet, fan account The Trump Train posted a video of demonstrators chanting "We want Trump" in London. However, the video appeared to have been taken at a "Free Tommy Robinson" protest in June 2018, while the far-right activist was in jail for contempt of court.

Footage of the same protest was widely shared on social media in December 2018 to falsely claim as evidence that French "yellow vest" demonstrators were also chanting "We want Trump", and the president himself endorsed the claim.
