LAPD 'prepared for anything' when Trump visits Southern California

Source: MSN/LA Times

LOS ANGELES - Since President Donald Trump took office, California has been the epicenter of the resistance, home to countless protests, marches, impromptu airport rallies and, of course, commentary of various kinds of Facebook and Twitter.

But it's all been done at a distance, because Trump has avoided California. Until this week.

Trump will spend Tuesday and a bit of Wednesday in Southern California, visiting prototypes for the border wall he's vowed to build in San Diego and attending a fundraiser on Los Angeles' Westside.

What remains unclear is whether his brief visit will bring out major protests. Some anti-Trump activists said they intend some kind of action, but so far there have been no plans for a massive demonstration such as the women's march last year or some of the immigration demonstrations that clogged the streets of downtown L.A.

Sort of odd to visit SoCal shortly after the DOJ announces that it will be going after cities that do not cooperate with the Trump administrations anti-immigration drive.

I'm not entirely sure why Trump is still trying to sell this wall "as happening". I just hope the contractors that built their prototypes aren't waiting with bated breath.

With Trump and Sessions both spewing out rhetoric against CA and half the population recently, it would appear to be the worst possible time for a "visit".

"Trump will spend Tuesday and a bit of Wednesday in Southern California, visiting prototypes for the border wall he's vowed to build in San Diego and attending a fundraiser on Los Angeles' Westside."

Going for his own self interests. Doubt he'll even see any protests.

California is the most progressive and enlightened state in the union. No one there wants to listen to his racist / xenophobic / Islamophobic / sexist bullshit. He should restrict his traveling shit shows to the intellectually barren, toothless wastelands of deplorable country. Lord knows that between cow tipping jaunts, trips to the deep fryer, and simply sitting around all day not engaging in critical thinking they certainly could use a nice distraction. featuring a large clown, patriotic songs, tons of balloons, and more ass-grabbing than you can shake a tobaccy-juice-stained stick at.
