I've posted this before here. There are similarities in the MO:
Donald Trump 'paid students £20' to protest against wind farm near his Scottish Golf course
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/donald-trump-paid-students-20-9274811
And in 2013, this notice appeared on Craigslist and Job Hustler before an anti-wind farm demo Trump planned in New York:
Earn Quick and Easy $20 for an hour or less of work

Our firm needs 100 volunteers to attend and participate in a rally in front of the British Consulate/Embassy in Midtown Manhattan on the East Side on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 12 noon. The event is being held in order to protest wind turbines that are being built in Scotland and England. Your participation will be to ONLY stand next to or behind the speakers and elected officials/celebrities that will be speaking at the rally.
It is a really simple job and easy money for anyone who is around Manhattan at the time. We need all of our volunteers to RSVP for this event. It is VERY important that you RSVP because we have had people confirm spots and fill spots on the first day of the advertisement in the past. If you have participated in one of our events in the past (Ovation) please make a note of that in your RSVP email and we will email EVERYONE back to confirm your attendance.
We look forward to hearing from you all and again, the money is quick, the job is easy and we pay in CASH at the end of the event.
Looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday!

Best thing people could do is ignore the entire thing & spread the word on social media to do so

Why is this LBN? It wouldn't be hard at all to create a posting with inaccurate information in it,

A large, silent, peacefull protest lining the approach to the fence would make the news quite nicely

I signed up for 2 tickets. That's 2 empty seats. Empty seats will drive him crazy

He's also advertising on Craig's list for a new head of the NSC. Bannon's overwhelmed over there.

Posting on Craigslist should attract deplorables - maybe a few serial killers.
