President Trump was greeted in New York City on Saturday by thousands loudly chanting "Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!", "Shame on You!" and "Traitor!"
The NY Post reports:
"I believe it's time to stop lining the pockets of the rich and stealing from the poor," said John Eng, a 54-year-old real estate agent from Manhattan who was holding a sign declaring, "The poor will have to eat the rich."
The protesters were particularly enraged by the Senate's early-morning passage of a $1.2 trillion tax reform bill supported by Trump. A few shouted "Kill the bill, don't kill us."
Trump is in town to attend a series of Republican fundraisers - including one for his reelection campaign - and is being accompanied by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, The Hill reported.

On January 20th, it begins...
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
