Artists in Washington D.C. briefly blasted the Trump International Hotel with a projection instructing guests to drop off their foreign cash inside.

Robin Bell said he kicked off the colorful display from a van parked across the street around 9:15 p.m. Monday.

It lasted 10 minutes before a security guard for the Old Post Office stood in front of the projector, blocking its feed.

“We had a couple great moments. A tour bus pulled up, people started clapping and taking photos,” Bell told the Daily News. “Everyone on the street, except for the security guard, seemed really happy.”

The three slides made reference to the Emoluments Clause that the Trump administration is at risk of violating with his hotel empire, despite the President’s claims he has removed himself from the Trump Organization.

1. We have THE best protesters!

But seriously...how is this treasonous bastard still in office?

[volstork]

20. It's because they are paid so well!

[L. Coyote]

35. LOL. Where would we be without George Soros?

On unemployment

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

38. Still waiting for my check for the Women's Day March.

I'm beginning to suspect this whole "get paid to protest" thing is a nasty hoax!

[trueblue2007]

57. is George Seros going to pay be back for my pink ladies hat?

I wear it all the time..

[certainot]

28. because there are 1000 radio stations making excuses for him

and attacking his critics and liberals think talk radio is a bygone medium

[Scarsdale]

45. Plus

all the useless gop pols. in office, defending him until they finish destroying the country.

[uponit7771]

[sheshe2]

4. K&R

Awesome.

Lock him up.

[Jarqui]

5. Hope they've got good lawyers. Trump will sue them

[bathroommonkey76]

8. He'll threaten to sue and after it's over Trump will pretend it didn't happen.

Shady mofos with a creepy lawyer that posts pics of his daughter in lingerie tend to do those types of things.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Who's he gonna sue? DC police for not.....

catching the miscreants?

[democratisphere]

[tecelote]

11. The best resistance money can't buy!

[Generic Other]

12. Were the perpetrators apprehended?

What would they be charged with? Not vandalism. Not trespassing. Not even libel. hahaha.

[Grammy23]

15. I don't know what charges were placed against them if they were caught...

But we need to start a Go Fund Me to help raise money for a medal! After all the crap news of the last week (actually since last Nov.), we needed something to lift our spirits. Thank you to whoever had the guts and the equipment to do this. I only wish them well and next time project your words on the White House!

[BigmanPigman]

21. YES!

[Generic Other]

37. It doesn't seem as if it could be a crime

So yes indeed. Project on every monument and wall.

[LeftInTX]

40. As long as the lights aren't projected into the guests' rooms etc

And it looks like it isn't.

If it did, it could fall under "nuisance ordinance".

[lunatica]

42. And who's to argue it isn't art and free speech

There was no damage to the property and the artist was not trespassing.

He can take it all the way to the Supreme Court if he wants.

I love it! 😈

[Generic Other]

59. Seriously!

It is the perfect form of protest.

[Generic Other]

60. Robin Bell claims to be the artist

16. Someone need slip a printout of this into his pile of news to read.

[benpollard]

17. Free speech

Trump must be fuming.

[LeftInTX]

18. Cool!!!!!!

As long as they aren't trespassing, I don't think Trump can do anything about this!

[Snake Plissken]

24. He can have another psychotic break on twitter

Blaming Obama for it

[volstork]

19. Well done!

That's clever and impressive. Kudos to the "perpetrators!"

[phylny]

22. People are so clever! n/t

[SCantiGOP]

23. Arrest those anarchists

Oh, sorry, I meant to put that on Freeperville.

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. That warms the cockles of my cold, pessimistic heart!

[Midnight Writer]

26. Shit! Now us taxpayers will have to finance another Federal Task Force to investigate.

[rickford66]

55. That's his jobs program?

[liberalla]

27. Hell yes! How clever and delicious this is!

Massive props to these activists! I bow down to them.

[VigilantG]

29. I love our country of real Patriots!!!

Thank you!

[MontanaMama]

31. Fucking A!

That is all.

[turbinetree]

32. That is just so righteous, and guess what he's leasing the

building from the US taxpayers, we own the Old Post office, and I don't think he can say anything

[Equinox Moon]

33. Watch... the republiCons will write a new bill making this illegal.

Maybe they will call it a form of vandalism?

I have seen this done before by GreenPeace. They did this with Monsanto buildings.
It works great!

[turbinetree]

34. They did this on Occupy Wall Street if I remember correctly and Obermann had it .

[lunatica]

43. And some district court will ban it

[Alice11111]

Also... can't wait until pigs fly in NYC

[lunatica]

61. Give it time

It's just a matter of time.

I can't wait to see the creative ways people use their drones.

[riversedge]

52. good for the Resisters. Well done folks

[workinclasszero]

53. Love it!

The truth will out!

[Vinca]

54. That's just amazing.

[LiberalLovinLug]

56. So what was the "security" issue that required that guard to block it?

[SergeStorms]

58. We need these types of provocative.......

protests to continue, until one tiny blood vessel in Trump's pea-sized brain gives up, says "Oh fuck it", and bursts like a cheap balloon. End of Trump presidency. It seems like this might be the ONLY way that the orange shit-stain will ever be forced out of office. The freaking Republicans certainly aren't going to make any overtures to remove him.

It may actually be the best way for it to happen. That way Trump is gone, the Democrats can still blame the GOP for all of the trouble and embarrassment Trump caused, defeat every Republican maggot in the 2018 mid-terms, and get our country back on a track where ALL people are treated like decent human beings.

I'm not a praying man, but I think I'll start praying for that one little blood vessel to pack it in. It's that, or wait for the Republicans to wake from their slumber (and that isn't happening).
