The Trump crowd seems genuinely confused by our peaceful No Kings Day. Last time they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, 140 cops got injured.

Trump rolled out the literal red carpet for Putin but he couldn’t be bothered to personally greet any of the 8 foreign leaders today who flew to the White House. This is just so SAD.
