Obama: 'I wouldn't advise anti-Trump Regime protesters to be silent' #notmypresident #trumpprotest #Blacklivesmatter

During a press conference on Thursday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Obama was asked about his view on anti-Trump protests around the country.

CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan posed the question, "You've spoken a great deal about this...crude form of nationalism perhaps on the rise. I'm wondering if you'd advise some of the protesters at home to stop demonstrating against the charged rhetoric that has been used by Donald Trump."

I bet she is as depressed as a lot of people all over the World are, at the realization, that a nimrod like Trump will replace the great man beside her.
