Trump-Epstein Projection on Windsor Castle Results in No Charges
The recent projection of a nine-minute video featuring Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle has stirred significant attention. This event, executed by the campaign group Led By Donkeys, highlighted Trump’s past associations with Epstein, including a controversial letter that surfaced from US lawmakers.
Background on Trump and Epstein
Donald Trump knew Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s. Despite their association, there have been no official accusations against Trump regarding any wrongdoing related to Epstein. The contents of the projection aimed to shed light on Trump’s connection with the deceased financier.
Details of the Projection Incident
On September 16, 2023, the projection was conducted from a hotel room across from Windsor Castle. The police responded promptly, leading to the arrest of individuals associated with the action. A spokesperson for Led By Donkeys criticized the police’s reaction as “ridiculous” and “heavy-handed,” especially considering that no one had been arrested for previous projections.
Police Response and Arrests
- The Thames Valley Police acted swiftly on 16 September.
- Individuals involved in the projection were arrested.
- The police’s reaction was seen as disproportionate by the campaign group.
Trump’s Visit to the UK
Coincidentally, Trump arrived in the UK for his second state visit on the same day as the projection. He met with King Charles on September 17, with the majority of their discussions occurring behind the castle walls.
Public Reaction and Protests
Prior to Trump’s visit, protests erupted in Windsor. Demonstrators assembled, expressing their opposition to his presence. In central London, the Metropolitan Police deployed over 1,600 officers in anticipation of protests organized by the Stop Trump Coalition.
The events surrounding Trump’s interaction with Epstein, along with the specific circumstances of the projection, have provoked ongoing debates regarding public protests and police responses to political demonstrations.
