WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. The Saturday evening march will begin at Trump Plaza, a high-rise apartment building. President Trump actually hasnt owned the place since 1991. Fine. It still has the name. Its a good place to start.
From there, the marchers will head south, walking along the Intracoastal Waterway that separates West Palm Beach from ritzy Palm Beach island. Theyll stop, on police orders, when they reach the bridge.
And then, the plan is to wave signs and glowsticks. The hope is that theyll be visible across the dark water and the great green lawn of the club, from up in the private apartment that is now the winter White House.
If Trump sees those green lights, then hell know that his critics have followed him home.
He is a part-time resident here, and we want to make sure people know his values are not our values, said Alex Newell Taylor, 34, an organizer of Saturdays march. She said thousands are expected.

(5,648 posts)1. Why can't the protestors protest on Palm Beach island?
The roads and streets on the island were built with public funds weren't they?
