Trumps own press pool contradicts this statement, saying that a couple dozen of anti-Trump protesters were in the streets around Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate, where the president was meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife.

We all know how you like the cheering of the crowds. Why don't you stop, get out, and greet all those sign-waving supporters personally? I'm sure they'd be thrilled to meet with you face to face.
