Teenager mows giant 'message' into lawn for Donald Trump

The giant message for Trump was mowed into a lawn under the flight path of Air Force One

An art student ensured Donald Trump got a rather rude reception when he flew into Stansted.

Ollie Nancarrow, 18, spent the weekend mowing an outline of a penis with the words “oi Trump” on a field below Air Force One’s flightpath.

He added “climate change is real” beneath a polar bear in a separate field and said: “Living under the flightpath has to have some advantages”.

He mowed the messages in the grounds of his home in Hatfield Heath, Essex, in protest against the president’s views on climate change.

The student also wrote

The Bishop’s Stortford High School student, who was today sitting an A Level exam, said: “Donald Trump and his denial of climate change are not welcome and I want him to be fully aware of that when he flies in to Stansted.”

He was given permission to create the statement by his mother Vanessa and stepfather David Ambler.

He added: “I wanted to make my point and it seems to have worked. I’ll wave to him as he goes over.”
