The most reviled man in the universe; I hope he understands this. Must outrage him.

370 Cities Across The World Just Announced Trump Inauguration Protests
By Colin Taylor
Posted on January 17, 2017


The upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump is being met with mass trepidation from not just Americans, but by millions of people around the world. That much is evident in the fact that there will be 370 “sister marches” on six continents that are expected to draw over 700,000 people across the world, protesting the inauguration of Donald Trump. 55 marches have been planned in cities from Paris to Nairobi to Sydney, reports the Huffington Post.

14,000 women are set to march in London alone in protest of not just Trump but of the recent wave of far-right hate that is engulfing human societies across the globe and in support of women’s rights, LGBT rights,

“This march was triggered by widespread apprehension at the threat to human rights anticipated in the wake of recent political events. By coming together on the 21st, a multitude of different organisations working across the board on different social issues send a message that the politics of fear and division will not be accepted. In 2016, we all saw an increase in hate speech and divisive rhetoric. Donald Trump’s election was really a tipping point for me” says organizer Beth Garner.

It should be a real gut-punch to the American people and to the Republican Party to know that the ascension of a serial sexual predator and narcissistic egomaniac to the Presidency is prompting outrage not just in the United States but all across the globe.

the (popularity) polls are rigged against him. I just hope he's made aware of how the rest of the world views him and it makes him pop his cork.

unless some of them go to talk radio stations or the 88 universities that support them he doesn't have to pay attention.

the 1200 radio stations that he rode to the white house will do what they did to OWS and yell over the protestors for as long as it takes

if needed they'll explode some minor emergency into a national one to enable the media's fawning attention away from the dissenters

Maybe, in this century, the advanced countries of the world will get together to save us.

I'm not talking about war. But if the Europeans, Japan, Canada and others joined together to put an embargo of all goods and services on America, I believe that would be sufficient to get the attention of the Orange Maniac.

The down side is that he migh decide to nuke them all. After all, we're talking about an unbalanced egomaniac who would rather go out in a blaze of glory than admit he could be wrong, or would give in to "foreign blackmail."
