Protesters line up in NYC, hoping for chance to boo Trump

Source: MSN/Associated Press

NEW YORK — A few hundred protesters lined up Thursday along Manhattan's West Side Highway to jeer Donald Trump's motorcade as he made his first trip home to New York since becoming president of the United States.

Trump sped by just before 7 p.m. on his way to attend a dinner with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull aboard the USS Intrepid, a decommissioned aircraft carrier that is now a museum.

The crowd booed and chanted "New York hates you!" over drums and tambourines.

Some Trump supporters were also on hand to cheer him on.

everyone in New York save their protest for when it will matter the most which is at the minute he goes on air to give his state of the union and everyone in New York rise up and go to their bathroom and flush their toilets 3 times to give him the salute he so deserves.
