 LL> Donald Trump to rally his supporters to that of “the fascists of the
 LL> 20th century” in an explosive intervention before the US president’s
 LL> state visit to London that begins on Monday. Writing in the Observer,
 LL> Khan condemned the red-carpet treatment being afforded to Trump
 LL> who, with his wife Melania, will be a guest of the Queen during his

 LL> Khan said: “President Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious

 LL> “Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Matteo Salvini in Italy, Marine Le Pen in
 LL> France and Nigel Farage here in the UK are using the same divisive

Liberalism is dying.
