Donald Trump is extremely thin-skinned and cannot stand the fact that not everyone worships him the same way his deranged supporters do. In fact, the president has been known to cancel trips to other countries just because he heard that he was going to be protested against. So it’s a good thing that he didn’t know what would be waiting for him during his trip to New Orleans today, or else the president would have wimped out.
As the president visited the New Orleans Convention Center, he was met by a large crowd that he clearly did not see coming. While Trump spoke to the Farm Bureau and to farmers, he also had to deal with the fact that there were demonstrators chanting “lock him up” outside the convention center, providing a disastrous distraction for the president.
Considering that many farmers have been feeling the brunt of the president’s government shutdown and ridiculous trade wars, we’re sure that many of those listening to The Donald wanted to be outside protesting instead.
The fact that protesters were chanting “lock him up” will sting even more for Trump, as he is infamous for his “lock her up” chants against Hillary Clinton. Now, the country is seeing that Trump has done so much worse than any concerns that were surrounding the former Secretary of State. As of right now, reports are stating that the FBI has launched an investigation to see if Trump was a Russian agent at the beginning of his presidency. But her emails, right?!
Here’s a snapshot of what’s going on as Trump desperately tries to focus on his speech and distract everyone from the fact that he’s been working for Vladimir Putin:
