I'm surprised that Fox reporters don't already know this basic fact.

The plans for this were being cooked up long before he returned to office.

What may appear to be "protests" is actually an outpouring of love and gratitude for Trump gutting Medicare and SNAP, cutting cancer research, arresting and detaining people who are LEGALLY in the U.S....

...the people we see in the streets are showing their LOVE and RESPECT for Dear Leader.

The people who refuse to believe this hate America, hate Baby Jesus in the manger, hate our flag, and fail to see that Trump really wanted to enlist and fight for our country in Vietnam, but couldn't, because of imaginary debilitating bone spurs in his feet that Fred's doctor cooked up after Fred paid him to write that bogus diagnosis.

Than will be at his masturbatory military march. I think he invited a bunch of Russians to fill the stands. It's really for Putin anyway.

They described them as erupting - which has of coming out of nowhere, exploding, possible violence.

The one where I live was an orderly planned event.

No one wants to be the messenger he rages at. Just like he didn't hear about TACO right away. He wants to think his war on California is beloved by all and is frightening other liberal states. Hell, that may very well be what they are telling him.

Ceausescu did the same...right up to the point when the rebels pulled him out of parliament and stood him up against a wall.
