| Trump on women's marches: I thought we just had an election |
| 2017-01-23 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday morning to mock protesters who participated in women's marches across the United States a day after his inauguration. "Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly," he tweeted.

| #1 An interesting comment from an American Jew who emigrated to Israel a decade ago: Go home, Pussyhat Dolls [IsraelTimes] After a few days of complaining, most of my liberal friends calmed down, although a few still preached doom and gloom. But the inauguration stoked the fires once more. And in place of pantsuits, someone knitted pink “pussyhats,” which protesters could wear as a show of strength. Because, as Betty White has expressed, those things can take a pounding. And a grabbing. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of women and male allies gathered around the country and in selected places around the world to speak out against… well, what exactly? This is where I get fuzzy. What are the protesters expecting? In Facebook discussions, some of my liberal friends have said they want to remind Trump to be compassionate in his choices. I have some serious doubts that a movement that can be comfortable with Ashley Judd referring to the president’s cabinet as “Nazis renamed” can expect Trump to listen to their concerns. Others said the protests were a reminder that more than half of the voters didn’t support Trump as president. True. Of course, less than 60 percent of those eligible to vote actually chose to do so. And many of those people aren’t exactly excited about the current protests, given that they take place before President Trump has done anything substantive that the left could expect to be changed. |
