Full Moon Protest for Trump as Lone Wolf Demonstrator Targets Presidential Motorcade
Among the journalists who witnessed the event, one noted "it was a full moon"
Oct 20, 2017
One person in Washington, D.C. took a stand against President Donald Trump on Thursday night by bending over.
Because "we all have a role to play."
According to accounts from the White House press pool, the "moon" incident happened as Trump's motorcade passed through the neighborhood of Cleveland Park on its way to the Kuwaiti Embassy for an event.
As Hunter Walker, a political correspondent for Yahoo! News and a member of the press pool traveling behind the president's car, reported:
"There have been no reported pictures of the incident taking place," Politicus USA's Sean Colarossi commented in response, "but it's not hard to believe such a thing would happen to this president, as he continues to see some of the most dismal approval numbers in modern American history."
And the pun-filled headlines were quick to follow.
With "full-moon salute," a man gets "cheeky with the president."
"A Grown Man Mooned the President's Motorcade Today Because We All Have a Role to Play."
Though the man behind the uneloquent protest has yet to be identified, the Huffington Postnotes that "he has plenty of kindred spirits: In February, hundreds of demonstrators mooned the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago."
On January 20th, it begins...
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.
