Story highlights Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters is on his North American tour, "Us + Them"

(CNN) An inflatable pig with Donald Trump's face on the side. Screens that show doctored images of the President throwing up. Photos of Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a big baby, and as Hitler.
