Donald Trump is currently visiting the UK, and not everyone's happy to see him.

From this teen who mowed a giant penis into a field under the president's flight path to the return of the giant Trump Baby blimp, to the Grade-A trolling projections by protesters, many folks in the UK have pushed back against the visit.

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert gleefully ran his U.S. audience through the happenings of the last 24 hours.

"For yet another day, America was 239 pounds smarter, because President Trump is still in England," said Colbert on Tuesday.

"Take that you limey bastards. That is for the war of 1812 and Piers Morgan."
