March-A-Lago Returns: Protesters Plan Third Straight Rally Against Donald Trump

February 13, 2017 - 3:15pm

President Donald Trump could be making a third trip down to his “Winter White House” this weekend, and Floridians are already gearing up to make their dissatisfaction over his presidency and policies known.

Thousands of protesters leapt at the information and quickly scrambled to plan to rally against Trump as he rolls through town once more. On Monday, South Florida Activism announced it was planning a third rally to “stand against hatred and bigotry.” 

Earlier Monday afternoon, Federal Aviation Authority pilots were advised of travel restrictions affecting the Palm Beach area, which led many to speculate President Trump would be making yet another trip to shade himself by the palm trees at Mar-A-Lago. 

Sunshine and relaxation won't be the only things welcoming Trump to South Florida -- hordes of protesters will also be there, following Trump's every move.

“Perhaps he didn't hear us the first two times, so we must be exceedingly clear in our message,” the group wrote on Facebook.

The demonstrators have gathered in Palm Beach for two weekends in a row and aren’t showing signs of losing steam anytime soon. 

The group will not be marching this time, however. They have no plans to wave signs. They will not shout. Instead, their tactic will be simple. 

When Trump’s motorcade speeds down Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach, they will turn their backs, revealing a singular message pinned to the backs of their shirts. 

“No.”

Star Fae, who runs South Florida Activism, told Sunshine State News the short phrase was perfect for protesters criticizing the Trump administration.

“For different people it means different things,” she said. “Each of us has an issue that is close to our hearts that drives us to make our voices heard. For some of us it might be no pipeline, no wall, no ban…[it could be]any number of things.”

While their list of grievances may be lengthy, Fae told SSN their goals were the same.

“What’s important is that we realize we have a common enemy, and whatever our pet issue, we need to come together on these issues,” she explained.

South Florida Activism and the Women’s March Florida Chapter have been organizing events since November, but the groups picked up speed once Trump flew the D.C. coop and headed to warmer weather in Mar-A-Lago, a 111,000 thousand square foot house which is home to a lavish members-only club in one of the wealthiest cities in the nation.

The first protest gathered around 3,000 rallygoers who marched to Mar-A-Lago earlier this month. Over the weekend, the demonstrators once again lined the streets as Trump drove by after meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. 

Trump acknowledged the “big crowds,” but it was unclear over whether or not he actually believed the protesters were actually his supporters rather than critics. 

“Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road that the FAKE NEWS media refuses to mention,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “Very dishonest!”

Full details of the event have not yet been finalized, but the protest is currently scheduled for Friday evening.

Keep reveling in the piss ant communist protestors Nielsen. Phony reporters like you are a big problem in this country, promoting civil unrest and anarchy, POS's like you should be arrested for conspiracy to riot. FU.

They should be working and being productive. No time after work to cause problems. Stop the EBT, welfare, Free housing and free medicaid.......... get a job freeloaders..... support President Trump.

Us "deplorables" will only take so much from the snowflakes. Too bad Obama got such a pass.

Thank you for the encouragement........... Time for the Grand Jury to question HRC and send the Queen Ant away and then the left lose their power........!

They've been indoctrinated by the far left schools, K-12 and colleges and universities. They're in the mold of Castro et al. The former Dean of Education at FIU bluntly told me he was a Leninist. Our only defense is to make sure we get super organized and vote in 2018 en mass as if our freedom depends on it, because it does

How about broadcasting a nice review of how the streets are lined with his supporters CHEERING him on... No you only post the bad.. aren't you tired of promoting the WRONG Side.. start supporting your Country and your President,.... Stop the discrimination.!!!!!

Hey, the protesters are lazy, just what Obama wanted. Their IQ'S are no higher than 20 points, and under President Trump, the Democrats low life will have to go back to work and get off the free life. Remember November 8th was a vote of Americans against Democrats who wanted to kill our babies, loved ObamaCare and never saw it as the biggest fraud in American history. ObamaCare is also the largest tax increase in history. Obama never expected ObamaCare to be great, but only a failure. Obama wanted the system to get legally into place, before everyone caught on to the fraud. Now Obama will continue to commit Treason from another location. Lets get his college records, his Foreign Student application for a college student loan, the original short form of his birth certificate so we can see who his real father was?

as usual, the real issues are probably somewhere in the middle...still waiting on Trump to actually do something noteworthy, that isn't overturned in court before I decide... Of course the dishonest media will likely report otherwise... The saddest part of all of this is people actually believe that...classic.

You keep on instigating "SSN"; eventually it will get 'out of control' and the "blood will be on your hands". I've seen it all before...; only THIS time, I believe you will not be "given a pass" by the citizenry (as you and your media cohorts have usually counted upon in the past when "flower power" and "flower children" were all the rage... ).

Hair trigger nuclear war by ignorant mistake, narcissistic override, or knee jerk reaction. That's what it is about.

And best of all, Trump's tweets drives the Left nuts every day. “Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road that the FAKE NEWS media refuses to mention,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “Very dishonest!”

MORONS! What in heck are they protesting? Have they listened to his message? They want unvetted refugees here? ISIS? Illegals crossing our borders? No jobs? They are still only CRYBABIES and sore losers.

Morons. The best defense against idiocy like this is - not giving a rats ass. Trump may not care that much. Who do these people think they are? What do they think they are accomplishing? All I can say is that they must all be rich. Certainly do not seem to have anything better to do. When one of their kids gets gunned down or stabbed to death because they are an infidel....what will they say then?

Stupid protesters, stupid columnist for encouraging them . . .
