"all group of President Trump supporters rallied Sunday in Hollywood in advance of the Academy Awards.

The group held its demonstration outside the Metro station near the corner of Hollywood and Vine, not far from the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars ceremony will be held.

About a dozen protesters carried signs, Trump banners and American flags, chanting such slogans as “Celebrities don't speak for us” and “Hollywood, don’t divide us.”

The protest was called by the San Fernando Valley for Trump Celebration group, which said it believed “Hollywood elites” were trying to divide America."

1. I'm guessing these are not ones who hang out at maralago

[BlueStater]

2. Celebrities don't speak for us

You JUST voted for one and made him your beloved leader, you bunch of mindless lemmings.

[Doreen]

8. Some of them might have voted for that guy who played with chimps to.

[Fred Sanders]

14. Trump's TV show was "CELEBRITY Apprentice", but "celebrities do not speak for us" they say?? SAD!

[WePurrsevere]

22. Exactly and they complain about the "Hollywood elite" but...

voted for a rich narcissistic member of the 1% 'elite' who's appointing fellow 1%ers to positions of power.

They also chant "USA" and wave our flag in support of a man who is doing his darnedest to suppress 1st Amendment rights; is increasingly looking like he's guilty of working with the Russian government (and others) to rig our election and has brought in, and is giving quite a bit of power to, a self proclaimed Lenist, Bannon.

Pfft! They really are denser than a 'Yuge' box of rocks.

[LOL Lib]

26. Perfect Response!

I wish the trumpkins weren't so dumb. It would be an epic sight to behold their faces if they could fire up enough brain cells to realize that their cheeto jesus was a c-list celebrity.

[NYC Liberal]

31. Don't forget that Republicans also elected a B-list movie actor

and he's one of their favorites.

[progressoid]

34. They don't see the irony.

Hell, I don't think they even understand irony.

[liberal N proud]

3. It was a tiny group, so tiny it was yuuge!

[salin]

38. Bet that according to Trump it was way Yuger

than the audience at the Oscars and than any anti trump protest! The Yugest!

[cstanleytech]

4. Gotta wonder if Trump gets a group rate when he hires crowds of people like he did at the CIA

to applaud him or like maybe in this case to protest since hes still sore about not winning an oscar or even a lowly emmy.

[BlueStater]

5. Trump has always been a celebrity ass-kisser.

However, real celebrities of actual talent have always considered him a joke. It's one of the things that has turned him into the bitter, pathetic little man he is today.

[shenmue]

6. "About a dozen"

[angstlessk]

7. Seems Soros can hire more folks than trump can?

Let's see, 2 million + at the woman's march, at say $50 each (of which they are unaware)...and trump 24 at $50,000 each, only he fails on the payment part!

[Mrs. Overall]

9. And these people are consistent--they watch absolutely no movies or TV shows, right?

They don't support Hollywood in any way...

[RandySF]

10. A dozen people showed for the rally while 289 read this thread.

Not much of a movement.

[shenmue]

11. Haaaaaaaaaaa

[Fred Sanders]

12. Apparently "the greatest movement in history" is actually nothing more than a dozen cultists. SAD!

The LA Times headline should truthfully be "Dozen sad Trump supporters confirm being sad cultists at Academy Awards"

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Tweet will say 1.5 million protesters!

[pstokely]

[titaniumsalute]

30. A dozen protesters isn't a protest

It's a small group gathering.

#paid #sad

[pstokely]

33. "Everyone likes to worship these celebrities as if they're some sort of deities"

just like the cult of deplorables

[zentrum]

35. So small they're almost cute.

[IrishEyes]

37. According to Wikipedia, here are republicans who were in show business and politics.

I will never understand why it isn't okay to them for a celebrity to have political views. Celebrities are entitled to their opinions like any other Americans. Of course, it is perfectly okay to them for a republican celebrity to have any political views. They only want political views from experts like Scott Baio, Ted Nugent and Chuck Norris.

39. Fuck them - "Hollywood elites" bullshit

The deplorables have "Intellectual elites", "Climate changers elite", "Liberal elites", etc., etc. , etc. to pick on. Fuck them and their little minds, little souls.

Assholes - all they can do is hate anything that doesn't fit their small, twisted sense of alternative reality.

[MountCleaners]

40. I know it was a small protest, but...

The Trumpies keep saying that liberals are "dividing us". When on earth were "we" ever united? I would be afraid to live in a society where everyone agreed. This is one of those nutty things that they say that reveals a bizarre and disturbing perspective on living in this country. Why is it so important to them that we not be "divided"? Crazy.

[TranssexualKaren]

41. "A dozen"????

Seriously, if a dozen of anything other than Republicans assembled on a street corner the corporate press certainly wouldn't bother to report on it.

[Beaverhausen]

42. I was trolling them on their Facebook page:The Red Elephants

Reminding them that Hollywood actually is a very successful industry and creates lots of jobs. Also reminding them about Reagan, etc. They ended up blocking me and deleting all my posts. Sad

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

43. Isn't Trump a Hollywood elite? n/t

[pstokely]

44. no, he's a Branson elite at best
