    A person on my fb feed has posted a photo of a protest at the embassy over you guessed it TRUMP.
    Is this going to be 4 years of protest and moaning media?

    They are a bit late to be protesting Obama's drone wars.

    The liberal left have shown their true colours this week with violence, beatings etc... the fanny movement are so píssed off that multiple people have called for the assassination of a US president, Madonna has been visited by the secret service and told to zip it. I saw a few other idiots that were fired from their jobs for tweeting same.

    Jesus is it worth losing your job over and being untouchable like ebola? cop on FFS.

    I'm still waiting for the mass migration of celebrities to move to Canada.

    It is just hypocrisy but liberal whingers will eventually settle down. I can't see them keeping this pace up for 8 years.

    Post election, inauguration and the two week anniversary. They are going to burn themselves out.

    Oh, I think you underestimate Trump's ability to piss people off.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's a fine environment for slacktivism.

    I am stunned at the insecurity of people towards Trump's stampede to being president. It's like some people are so socially connected to politicians needing to be from a political background, that they can't comprehend something different. Here in Ireland we regularly vote for a bunch of dopes that have a political dynasty and dopes that run for election on a single issue.

    These protests completely contradict what the protesters claim to stand for. Trump was democratically elected.

    The Left have lost it completely.

    Sarah Silverman is calling for a military Coup for Christs sake! As is an ex-Obama Administrator Rosa Brooks.

    The leftish press in the US are even attacking Tom Brady over his friendship with Trump.

    How's that? Isn't protesting democratic?

    It's affirmation of democracy not a contradiction.

    Destruction of private property and physically assaulting people is not protesting though. That's a riot.

    I've no problem protesting peacefully.....but the violence seen at Berkeley should not be tolerated.

    So democracy keeps on peddling its contradictions and hypocracy,

    im 100 % against trump, but protesting another countries president? that was democratically (more or less) elected? Americanism has really cut deep in Ireland... Stupid protest, what idiot thinks we could in any way influence american internal politics?
    protesting the Iraq war is one thing, good idea, its a global problem. but protesting a foreign government is just silly. Protest Shannon airoport before you protest trump

    What has he done that would piss people off now he is President? His 7 countries ban is just a travel ban for like 90 days. He was elected, disagree with him but the issue with constant protests is they lose their gravitas, people eventually stop listening and the impact lessens.

    That will be the issue for people who hate him so much, that the wider population of America and in Europe eventually stops listening and even stops noticing, it will just be the line of 'the lunatics are at it again'.

    People are protesting that he is no different to Obama.
