Not exactly news but its incredibly fun to troll Trump with the reminder that people hate him
Its less than a week into Trumps term as POTUS and he cant go anywhere without being reminded that people did not actually vote for him.
Not only did they not vote for him, they kind of hate him. No, they actually hate him. No kind of about it.
The day after his inauguration he was officially welcomed to Washington with the largest protest in US history. And people arent done yet. On Tuesday there were more than 100 Stop Trump protests planned around the country. And now, in the latest example of organized resistance, Philadelphia, otherwise known as the city of Brotherly Love, plans to show Trump on Thursday just exactly what they think of him.
President Trumps visit to Center City on Thursday will be met with traffic, parking, and pedestrian restrictions as well as a large contingent of protesters
A group on Facebook was organizing a lunch-hour die-in on Thursday to protest Trumps proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The protesters will gather at Thomas Paine Plaza across the street from City Hall and then march to Loews, where they will fall to the ground.
A Queer Rager dance party to protest the proposed health care repeal was planned for outside the Loews on Wednesday night.
An immigrant-rights group from New York was planning to send protesters to Philadelphia on Thursday morning.

Protests, queer dance parties and die-ins, oh my! Imagine organizing the resistance so that these types of events greet him in every American city he visits. What would it do to his fragile little ego then?
Poor, sad demoralized little Trump, reminded every day that he is hated by the country that didnt actually elect him.
Oh, well. Since we know his favorite thing is himself, we could always send him this sweet elephant dung greeting card with his image on it to make him feel better Loser!

to ensure the safety of the boy king. This is in addition to all the traffic jams caused by moving the POTUS (any president) from place to place.

and the area is also where many trans folks frequent (along 12th Street), so they should not be surprised at the welcome. The Auto Show is starting up at the Convention Center too which is nearby, so traffic will be crazy down there.

(20,630 posts)7. So is this supposed to be a continuation of the "Victory/Thank You" tour?
Anyone willing to tell him that the protestors will outnumber the supporters by orders of magnitude, if he tries this in any decent-sized city?
