....................Hundreds of demonstrators, including many from the Haitian community, greeted Trump today in West Palm Beach. They called for the president to apologize for his controversial comments reportedly made during a recent Oval Office meeting on immigration reform.
"Mr. Trump, we want him to know what he said was not who we are and he needs to apologize," Byrnes Guillaume, organizer of the protest, told ABC affiliate WPBF. "It was unbecoming of a president."

(7,616 posts)We need to do this every time Trump pollutes our town with his presence. Next time , I wanna see a solid line of patriots all the way from PBIA straight across the causeway to that billionaire shit-hole Mar-a-lago.
This was the largest group I've seen showing up to let Trump know what we think of him. Lets keep it up!
