President Trump and First Lady Melania reunited on Friday for a weekend getaway at their “winter White House,” a.k.a the Trump family’s lavish private Mar-A-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, US Weekly reports.
What they likely didn’t expect, however, was the onslaught of company who decided to join them.
On Saturday hundreds of anti-Trump protestors gathered around President Trump’s private resort to protest recent his executive order barring individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
The protest at Mar-A-Lago was just one of many that took place across the country on Saturday, obviously receiving a slew of media attention because the POTUS was present.
Other protestors also joined forces in Washington, D.C., where they gathered at the White House Saturday morning before marching toward the Supreme Court. In Janesville, Wisconsin, angry demonstrators marched on the front steps of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office in an attempt to urge the seemingly spineless coward to stand up to President Trump — for the sake of this country.
This weekend marks the second consecutive weekend of demonstrations from individuals outraged over the xenophobic executive order.
On Saturday evening, President Trump and First Lady Melania will attend the white tie Red Cross ball held at the resort.
