Woke-Left protesters UNABLE to explain why President Trump is a Facist, pulls out a paper handout he was given with talking points AND still can’t explain himself!
**Reporter:** “So what makes Trump a fascist?”
**Protester:** “Uh, I mean… does things without—”
**Reporter:** “You’ve got to talk loud, I don’t have my mic on.”
**Protester:** “I’m not really good at interviews or stuff.”
**Reporter:** “Sorry?”
**Protester:** “He just does everything he wants and, you know, not following laws or… He was a convicted felon, you know, that’s all I know.”
**Reporter:** “But your sign says he’s a fascist, and I’m just curious, what makes him a fascist?”
**Protester:** “One of the things is that he’s trying to control the media, right?”
**Reporter:** “Say that again?”
**Protester:** “He’s trying to control the narrative. Like—”
**Reporter:** “How is he trying to control the media? Doesn’t every president try to control the narrative?”
**Protester:** “They try to control their own narrative but one of the things that Trump’s has done, for example, is the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and then not allowing the Associated Press to come into the White House. Basically, you know, trying to get…”
**Reporter:** “What are your feelings about him renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America when a majority of the Gulf is in fact on the coast of America as opposed to Mexico?”
**Protester:** “I mean, it’s kind of pointless. People—”
**Reporter:** “Is it pointless?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, people call it the Gulf of Mexico, what’s the point?”
**Reporter:** “Don’t you think it could have a positive tourism impact, potentially?”
**Protester:** “Tourism has been down heavily.”
**Reporter:** “So I don’t want to get into a tourism debate. My question is, this sign says: ‘The Fascist Trump regime must go!’ And so I’m just curious, what makes him a fascist? You pointed out that maybe something about his relationship with the media, he wants to control it, but… yeah—again, you’re specific—you’re calling him a fascist?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, well, one of the core tenets of fascism is creating an enemy, right? And blaming those problems on the enemy.”
**Reporter:** “What’s that?”
**Protester:** “It’s a paper they gave me, yeah.”
**Reporter:** “Who gave you that?”
**Protester:** “The people that gave me the sign. It’s a free sign.”
**Reporter:** “Someone gave you the sign and then they gave you the handout? So are you reading it now to try to answer the question?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, but I mean…”
**Reporter:** “Can I see that? Can you hold that up?”
**Protester:** “You can have it.”
**Reporter:** “I can have it?”
**Protester:** “Yes, you can have it.”
**Reporter:** “Alrighty. So where did you get the sign?”
**Protester:** “All the way in the gatekeeper’s house. Yeah, it was just laying around.”
**Reporter:** “And that’s another one? They gave you two pieces of paper?”
**Protester:** “Yes, you can have both.”
**Reporter:** “Oh, okay. So what brings you guys out here today?”
**Protester:** “Just because I saw people were hanging out with people, for, you know, the same thing as everyone else—executive overreach.”
There are 195 countries on Earth. 176 of those have tariffs on America. But now they are all scrambling to renegotiate their trade deals.
Tell me again that tariffs don’t work
Another story related to the supposed protests on Saturday.
As multiple observers have pointed out, the crowds everywhere were made up of mostly older, white females. Large numbers of demonstrators seemed to be retired government employees like teachers and bureaucrats. Many in the crowds carried “cheat-sheets” of slogans and talking points, in case they were asked why they were there, and what they were protesting.
It’s like Rush used to say, follow the money..
I’ve been saying for a few days now that the supposed grassroots protests that we saw were nothing of the sort, and that the supposed protesters were paid for their efforts?

“Donald Trump is trying to repeal parts of The Constitution. Like rights.”
“Which rights?”
“I don’t have all the information.”
Right, precisely.
At last check, the approval reading for the Democrats is running around 23%. That’s an all-time record low by the way.
So that 23% are having a “hands off my corrupt government” day, today.
Supposedly a thousand protests across the country. (Frankly my guess is that this will be the relative equivalent of the million men March where they might have gotten a few thousand to show up.
They’re calling these protests “visibility events”. Which, of itself, flies in the face of the claim that these protests are “grassroots” . I mean, think about it now, does any normal human use that kind of phrasing? I will guarantee you that the scope of what they claim to be planning is not grassroots.
It’s going to take some organization and some funding and frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if the George Soros owned teachers unions weren’t involved here. Given what we have seen in other protests in the last few weeks one wonders how much they’re paying people to show up and where the money’s coming from.
And just who is it they are trying to sway? The only thing that these protests are going to do is annoy people who overwhelmingly let their voices be heard last November.
Unsurprisingly, the left, who now finds themselves in a hole of record- setting proportions, isn’t smart enough to stop digging.
I promise you… This is not going to go well for the protesters. In fact, the only thing that’s going to happen here, the only needle movement that will occur, is to the right, mostly because of people looking at the spoiled brats having their temper tantrum and deciding that’s not what they signed on for, and walking away from the Democrat party.

According to Berntsen, Tren de Aragua is no longer just a violent street gang. While they may wear the face of criminality, their core leadership and operational cells have undergone paramilitary training under the guidance of Venezuelan intelligence and military officials, aided in part by Cuban intelligence operatives and narco-terrorist networks throughout Latin America.
Quoting Berntsen, Miami Herald journalist Antonio Delgado wrote:
“The Venezuelan regime has assumed operational control of these guys [Tren de Aragua] and has trained 300 of them; they have given them paramilitary training, training them to fire weapons and how to conduct sabotage. They have given them all like a four- to six-week course. They put these 300 guys through that course, and then they were deploying them into the United States to 20 separate states.”
Berntsen explained that sabotage includes acts such as arson, and that recent patterns of mysterious industrial fires, wildfires, and urban blazes—notably in Los Angeles and other key areas—could plausibly be linked to these foreign-trained operatives.
“Many of these wildfires, industrial fires, the Los Angeles fires, taking advantage of wind and the local conditions, were started by arsonists. How many of them were paid or coerced by TdA or their surrogates?” Berntsen asked.
Even more disturbing than the operation itself is the claim that elements within the CIA have deliberately ignored or buried this intelligence. Berntsen revealed that two current CIA officials recently leaked false information to The New York Times, claiming there is no intelligence connecting Tren de Aragua to the Venezuelan government.
But Berntsen says otherwise—and he has proof.
“The CIA doesn’t have the information because they refused to look at it,” Berntsen said. “We tried to brief them about this three years ago, but they were directed by the Biden Administration to ignore it. And now those officials are trying to undermine President Trump.”
According to Berntsen, he has already shared intelligence and source material with “elements of the U.S. government,” showing deep and sustained relationships between Tren de Aragua, Venezuelan and Cuban intelligence services, and high-level narcoterrorist operations.
This is way too good not to share.
