Some of my favorite slogans held high on homemade signs for the reporters’ cameras amidst
a sea of angry protesters were: ‘Make America Great Again: Take Us Back Before Donald Trump.’

Of course, there were the obvious ones too, like: ‘My Body, My DNA.’  ‘This is not freedom.’

And the less subtle of ones where men were actually pleading to go back to inequality. Fat chance.

Some of the slogans from protesters:

‘Trump, you have destroyed our Country.’

‘Trump, you cost us our freedom.’

‘Trump, you did this to us.’

‘Trump did us, just like Putin did Ukraine.’

‘Hang Donald Trump.’

Some of the best:

‘Now we are equal. You are hunted down with a bounty on your head,
like me. Your DNA, like my womb, now belongs to the State.’

‘The beginning of life–the beginning of parental responsibility.’

‘My freedom, my body, my DNA, my child.’

‘Make America Great Again’ signs and hats were kicked away and stomped on by men
in the parade, swore at and left under muddy feet with cigarette butts to float down the
street gutters.

People were beginning to draw analogies between Putin and Trump, Kim and Trump,
and they didn’t have to listen to Fox News or conspiracy thinkers driving mules, or another
litany from Trump’s podium that the election was stolen from him much longer. Trump was
fast becoming the emperor without clothes. 

Even Don, Jr., tried to keep Trump under wraps, so to speak, and away from social media,
knowing he would likely blurt out some ridiculous spiel to whomever would hold the micro-
phone to his face while walking from a fundraiser.

The crowd was booing and Trump didn’t understand that they were booing him.

(Half of all Americans are embarrassed and ashamed before the World. We are embarrassed
and ashamed that Donald Trump was ever our President.)

What was unsettling for any American citizen following politics was that Trump’s legislators never
proposed any new bills that would help the American people–not one single piece of legislation.

Every public address was a rambling speech about revenge and conspiracy theories, tariffs and a promise
of no taxes for the very rich. Not once had new legislation been passed to help their constituents.

Trump appointed his family to government jobs: his daughter was Secretary of State, his oldest son
was Chief of Staff, and his son-in-law was Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Running the Nation was just a family thing.
