LONDON — US President Donald Trump is currently on the last day of his three-day visit to Britain.

While Trump also visited the UK last year, this is his first official state visit — a more formal tour that includes being hosted by the Queen.

During his stay, Trump faced protesters and open opposition from the country’s political opposition, and he publicly feuded with Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor.

Trump also spoke of a trade deal that could be struck between the two countries as the UK prepares to leave the European Union.

Here is what 12 people who we spoke to on the streets of London thought about Trump’s visit:

Catherine Phillips, 60: ‘I think he’s appalling’

I don’t think he really deserved a state visit. I think he’s only the third US presiden t to get a state visit. I think there have been others that have been more deserving.

I think he’s appalling. I think he’s a sexist, I think he’s a misogynistic disgrace, really, that brings shame on the US.

I think that his attempts to intervene in UK politics are a disgrace. The way that he has retweeted, for example, posts from far-right groups here in the UK. I just can’t understand it at all.

Saying that he would want to meet with Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, intervening in British politics in that way, is dreadful. His insulting of our mayor, Sadiq Khan — words fail me. That’s not the behavior that you expect from a world leader.

We are proud of Sadiq Khan as our mayor, Londoners are very happy with Sadiq Khan as our mayor. So for Donald Trump to insult him in the puerile way that he has — words fail me.

Nicholas Peters, 22: ‘It seems like he doesn’t really know what’s going on’

I don’t really like Donald Trump, to put it lightly. He doesn’t seem like a very nice person.

I think the comments he made about Sadiq Khan, especially on Eid, were very insensitive.

It seems like he doesn’t really know what’s going on, and as a young, left-leaning liberal, I don’t really care for him.

Kristjan Byfield, 39: ‘Someone’s got to talk to him’

Sinéad Baker/Business Insider

I’m not a fan, like most people. However, I think we have an impossible challenge. He is still the president of America, and I think with everything that is going on, whatever the outcome of that is, I don’t think we can ignore the president.

From a personal perspective, I don’t see any issue with him being here. As a nation, I think we need to be engaging with America.

I would probably want to see our politicians taking a slightly stronger position on things, maybe taking him to task on things that they strongly disagree about, like exiting the [Paris Agreement] agreement and his position on certain human rights issues and immigration, while still trying to forge some sort of discussion about if there’s a trade deal if we come out of the EU.

I love a lot of the hassle that he has had for the last few days, the blimp balloon and Trump on the toilet and some of the banners.

I won’t be sad to see him leave, but someone’s got to talk to him.
