WOMAN GIVES TRUMP THE MIDDLE FINGER AFTER FOLLOWING MOTORCADE ON A BICYCLE


She persisted.

Donald Trump's motorcade departing from the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia had an extra add-on Saturday, after the president spent the 96th day of his presidency visiting one of his own properties. That addition came in the form of a female cyclist, who had one goal in mind: to flip off the president of the United States.

Pool reporters first noticed the cyclist trailing the motorcade before she managed to snake her way next to the president’s car just outside of the Trump National Golf Club. "A female bicyclist along the motorcade route, just outside the golf course, traveling in the right lane repeatedly extended her middle left finger towards POTUS," the pool stated.
The president's car was stopped at a traffic light near the golf course, just about to turn left onto the parkway, when the bicyclist successfully gave the president the middle finger.

Steve Herman, bureau chief of Voice of America News, tweeted the pool report Saturday, writing "I just saw this happen as we left the Trump golf course in Sterling, Virginia."

For many, the pool report could leave more questions than answers.

someone in the detail, didn't do their job...

I was once able to drive down I-66 in close to rush hour, and their were no other cars on the highway..

Then I noticed that there was police armed and lined up on all the bridges and overpasses that I passed...

Then it dawned on me...

They supposedly give him two files a day filled with good news to cheer him up. But then something like this happens. Surely he can tell that most people hate his guts. Do you think they have someone in the car with him calming him down, telling him everything is ok?

slacking off on the job lately? First the guy with the Russian flags and now this. It's amazing how close they let people get to him.

Either one of these people could have had a gun and blown him away - or tried. I'm sure they would have acted after the fact, but nobody really seemed too concerned that average citizens could get so close in the first place.
