President Responds To Unrelenting Protests
President Donald Trump took to Twitter early Saturday to proclaim that a rally of his supporters would be “the biggest of them all.”Â
It’s unclear what specifically prompted the tweet, but Trump’s first five weeks in office have been marked by a steady string of protests beginning with the Women’s March one day after his inauguration.Â
“Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally,” Trump wrote. “It would be the biggest of them all!”Â
Twitter users were quick to point out that Trump lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million, and that his inauguration crowd size was significantly smaller than President Barack Obama’s in 2009.
Some also suggested that the tweet was intended as a distraction from this week’s bombshell story about the White House pressuring the FBI to discredit reports about contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia.
