Still, we can really let him know just what we think of him.

Blockading his business will cost him. He hasn't divested. He still owns the businesses. He may not be "in charge" but he doesn't want to lose $$$'s. Unless his intent is to somehow devalue?

so, call any of them. There is a golf course hin Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

If he shuts down out house, the White House, we can shut down his.

And why stop at Mar-a-lago? Since the principal company owner isn't taking calls at his new office, maybe his other offices can answer the calls?

the White Trash House phones are up and running. I went on and on and then she just didn't say anything and transferred me to Security where I was able to start all over again.

to....oh Lordy you should see my Tweets! Of course it was for entertainment....calling the club asking to speak to Trashpot LOL. If my call created negative talk amongst co workers about this Trashpot, even if it is just an acknowledgment that they were getting calls regarding him then I'll take that too.

If you are trying to make me feel bad - or shame about calling workers at this Bullshit a lago that's not going to happen but I do see your point. That's still not going to stop me...but I do see your point.

Every Trump business should get disrupted with millions of prank calls 24/7. If he won't divest, havoc should be wreaked at every opportunity.

All it's doing is making some working stiff's shitty job a little more shittier by replacing what little down-time she might have had with phone calls demanding to speak to the President.

If it makes you feel good, fine. Whatever. But don't delude yourself into thinking that this is effecting some sort of resistance. It's not.

Want to cause havoc? Go block the delivery trucks from arriving. Nobody will be booking any rooms if there's nothing to eat. Of course, this requires actual effort and involves risk.

I suppose if her job becomes unbearable, she'll quit. Not quite sure how this is "activism" against Trump.

But it makes people feel good. That's what matters.
