Anti-Trump groups have said they will protest the vice president’s planned summer vacation in the English Cotswolds.
Activists, such as the Stop Trump Coalition, have promised to make the trip difficult because they are still unhappy with Trump’s policies. There are likely to be protests in both England and Scotland during the visit.
What makes the Cotswolds a hot spot for elite Americans?
The vice president will “find the resistance waiting” during his summer vacation in England, which is an ocean and nearly 4,000 miles from Washington, according to the Stop Trump Coalition, as per a report by the Daily Beast.

According to The Telegraph, the vice president, his spouse Usha, and their three kids are scheduled to visit London in mid-August, rent a cottage in the Cotswolds, and then head to Scotland.Known as the “Hamptons of England,” the Cotswolds is a breathtaking region in the southwest of the country that is home to charming villages and undulating hills. King Charles, Hugh Grant, and David Beckham are among the wealthy elite who frequent the area.
It has been reported that JD Vance is looking for rental properties in the area, possibly in anticipation of Trump’s visit.
As it is simultaneously hosting a literary festival, one Oxfordshire property is unable to assist. It is reported that another affluent Anglo is thinking of making the Second Family an offer of his own house.
Senior British politicians are assisting the Vance family with their travel arrangements. The veep’s fascination with the “Hamptons of England” is merely the most recent development in Vance’s rise through the ranks of society, which has included stops at Yale, the US Senate, the Naval Observatory, Peter Thiel’s venture capital fund, and redneck Ohio, as per a report by The Spectator.
Proudly sporting shamrock socks on St. Patrick’s Day, Vance is an unlikely anglophile who made a joke about Britain being the “first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon.” Many American Cotswoldians, like Ellen DeGeneres, who escaped across the Atlantic following Trump’s reelection, will probably be appalled by a Vance stay.
Why are protesters following JD Vance abroad?
However, “a coalition of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, climate protesters, and trade unions are set to hijack Vance’s peaceful stay, which was first made public by The Spectator,” according to the Telegraph.
Earlier this month, Vance went to Disneyland with his children, and the Stop Trump Coalition has promised to make sure that his joy is as short-lived as it was. Outside the hotel where he was reportedly staying, protesters gathered to voice their opposition to the Trump administration’s harsh immigration raids in California.
Has JD Vance faced this kind of backlash before?
In March, JD Vance and his family had to leave a ski resort when protests broke out against the government’s support for Ukraine. Demonstrations against the administration’s stance on Ukraine erupted in Vermont in March, forcing Vance and his family to evacuate a ski resort.
At Disneyland earlier this month, the Vances encountered opposition as well. The day before his arrival, the Vances were scheduled to stay at the Grand Californian Hotel, where more than 100 demonstrators gathered to voice their opposition to the Trump administration’s mass deportations.
On his arrival day, fewer protesters turned up, and the park reportedly closed some rides so the Vances could enjoy them in private, which caused delays for other park visitors.
The Stop Trump Coalition plans to place a large message on a beach that can be seen from the sky and hang anti-Trump banners and flags along roadside locations.
