Britain is on a mission to #MAIGA (Make "American Idiot" Great Again), in time for President Trump's touchdown in London to meet Prime Minister Theresa May.
Trump has reportedly asked May to cease all protests ahead of his arrival, which she informed him would be impossible.

And the social media campaign is working. The track has already pushed its way into the U.K. official singles chart's Top 20, and they still have a few days on the clock.
