From USA Today
BEDMINSTER, NJ President Donald Trump will have to watch the news or surf the Internet to see the tens of thousands of people gathering outside the White House protesting his "zero tolerance" immigration policies.
He's 220 miles from the official residence, ensconced in Trump National Golf Club, his private resort in Bedminster, New Jersey. The president has no public events this weekend and is not expected to make comments in the press.
So some protesters decided to come to him.
More than 100 people lined up along the side of Route 206 a few miles away from the president's club in Bedminster, waving anti-Trump signs and chanting, Where are the children! on Saturday during the "Families Belong Together" protest near his club.

(17,444 posts)1. Press Pool comment on protesters
From co-pooler Emily Cochrane:
The protestors [sic] gathered near the Bedminster golf course, at an intersection outside what appeared to be a public library. Some of them waved at the pool as the vans drove by, or waved their signs.
Signs included:
I really do care you should too #begone
God knows you lie
My civility is locked in a cage / reunite families now accompanied by the drawing of a child behind a chain link fence
Even the Trump family belongs together
Stop racism now
We the people say no to the Trump agenda taped over a rainbow flag.
Mueller aint goin away
Do you know where our children are?

Vans took a different route from the club back to I-78, and we did not see any more protesters.
