Protestors project 'F--- Trump' on stadium at college football national championship


?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fblogs%2Fblog-briefing-room%2Fnews%2F368035-protestors-project-f-trump-on-stadium-at-college-football

Protesters projected the message “F--- Trump” on the front of the stadium where he attended the college football national championship game on Monday.

The message appeared on the front of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta during the game, according to SEC Country.

The projection wasn't the only protest against Trump at the game. Alabama player Bo Scarbrough also yelled “f— Trump” as his team walked onto the field.
And fans booed Trump's motorcade as it pulled up to the stadium earlier in the night after they were forced to stand in the rain outside of the arena until his arrival.

Trump was greeted with applause and some boos as he walked onto the field at the game.

He stood at mid-field for the national anthem and watched the first half of the game from a suite before departing the stadium.

Maybe he could use some of the "executive time" to learn the words?

"O-o-oh, say, can you see..."


Too many for the donald--he'd lose interest before he got to "say"......

but I would think that projecting the "F" word onto a stadium being attended by people with their familes could be counterproductive, and indeed perhaps turn off more sensitive people making them think Trump opponents are as vulgar as he is.

"Dump Trump" or "Trump lies" would be better choices, imo.

Hope I'm making sense.
