Donald Trump left rudeness, racial bias, and oppression of the media strewn across Europe and Great Britain throughout his trip. Maybe, he was expecting a warm welcome from Finland when he came to meet his Russian best friend. It seems, the Finns had a different welcome in mind.

This billboard was what greeted the Donald. It was written in Russian, but for his benefit, it was translated into English (below).

Editor-in-chief of the largest newspaper in Helsinki, Helsingin Sanomat, Kaius Niemi, sent out a press release on Twitter along with a powerful message. Almost 300 billboards along the route from where Trump landed in Finland on Air Force One to the summit between the U.S. president and Russia’s president — both in English and Russian.

This one read in English:

‘Mr. President, welcome to the land of the free press.’

In his tweet, Niemi called out Trump’s total disrespect for the First Amendment, the “free press:”

‘As we welcome the presidents to the summit in Helsinki, we @hsfi want to remind them of the importance of free press. 300 billboards on the routes from the airport to the summit are filled with news headlines regarding presidents’ attitude towards the pressfreedom. #HELSINKI2018′

Niemi was supporting journalists in both countries under “ever toughening circumstances.” POTUS has attacked the U.S. press too numerous times to count as “fake news:” The editor-in-chief wrote in his press release on Twitter:

‘This is a statement on behalf of critical and high quality journalism. As we welcome the presidents to the summit in Finland, we want to remind them of the importance of free press. The media shouldn’t be the lap dog of any president or regime.’
