Obama said today in his big presser with Angela Merkel that he would NOT tell the anti-Trump protesters to be silent, just after being asked if he would tell them to stop demonstrating against the rhetoric from the campaign:

So Obama is effectively telling protesters to keep protesting.

Great. Divisive to the end.
