Stop Donald Trump protesters take over a London double decker in a bid to get Hillary Clinton in the White House
Eight million Americans live abroad but only 12% vote so campaigners are trying to get more to sign up to vote in the presidential election
A DOUBLE decker bus has been Americanised by anti-Donald Trump protesters who think expats living in Britain could swing the presidential election.
With their “United to Stop Trump” message they have painted their faces to look like the Stars and Stripes, are waving the American flag and have lots of red, white and blue balloons.
He said: “The most dramatic came in 2000, when delayed overseas ballots put George W. Bush narrowly in the lead over Al Gore when the Florida recount was stopped by the Supreme Court.
“Had the election been decided based on the (overseas) ballots that had arrived by the November 26 deadline, Al Gore would have won the state of Florida, and the presidential election, by 202 votes.”
Today action is also taking part in Berlin and Mexico City.

It comes as news emerged from the USA that George Bush Senior is expected to vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the election - leaving his son as the only living ex-president to not yet turn his back on Donald Trump.
Former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend posted a picture of herself with Bush on Facebook today, adding: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!”
Townsend later confirmed the conversation she had while meeting Bush in Maine to Politico, which shared a screengrab of the Facebook post.
The 92-year-old Republican, who was in office from 1989 to 1993, joins his Democrats Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama in supporting Clinton.
However, in doing so he has turned his back on his Republican party base – and leaves his son George W. Bush as the only remaining ex-president undeclared.
Bush’s spokesman, Jim McGrath, says in a statement that the former president’s vote is private and Bush isn’t commenting on the race.
McGrath later said on Twitter that he’s “still checking” if anyone was there to verify Townsend’s conversation.
