Trump fled DC before the immigration protests began, but the protesters found him and still gave him eyeful near his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course.

According to the White House press pool as provided to PoliticusUSA:



At the invitation of the president, pool arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster at 11:26 am for a tour. We do not expect to see the president.

En route on Route 206, pool vans passed a group of protesters, many with signs about immigration policy such as “Asylum seekers are not criminals.” There appeared to be about 200 people at that location.

The protestors gathered near the Bedminster golf course, at an intersection outside what appeared to be a public library. Some of them waved at the pool as the vans drove by, or waved their signs.

Signs included:

“I really do care you should too #begone”

“God knows you lie”

“’My civility is locked in a cage / reunite families now” accompanied by the drawing of a child behind a chain link fence

“Even the Trump family belongs together”

“Stop racism now”

“We the people say no to the Trump agenda” taped over a rainbow flag.

“Mueller ain’t goin away”

“Do you know where our children are?”

Trump tried to hide, but there is no escape

Trump ran out of DC to avoid the protests because he can’t face his unpopularity, and how much the vast majority of Americans hate what he is doing. However, there will be no peace for Trump as thousands of innocent children remain in cages after he snatched them away from their families. Millions of people around the world are protesting Trump’s immigration policy, and his response was to sneak away and avoid reality.

There is no escape for Trump. As long as he keeps enacting policies that run contrary to the values of the country, the American people will follow him anywhere and everywhere to make their voices heard.
