Two reports from my daughter who lives on Capitol Hill.
1. LOTS of people in DC depend on taxis, Uber, Lyft, and similar ride services. When the ride arrives at the destination, the driver pulls to the side as best they can, much of the time must stop in the traffic lane to let the passengers out. Now Trump's thugs in their black SUV pull up behind the taxi, Uber, etc., sound their siren, flash their red lights, and hassle the driver. Making DC a much better place to live.
2. The guy who throw the sub at the Trump thug was released that night on his own recognizance. But Trump wanted a video of his arrest. So -- TWENTY thugs were dispatched to his apartment where they re-arrested him, videoing the whole stupid affair. Then the judge vacated his arrest.
