While itâs funny to see all of the snowflakes frothing at the mouth and absolute losers protesting in Dublin about the democratic election of a person in another country it is fairly disconcerting to see how bent out of shape Trump and his people are getting about something as trivial as attendances at his inauguration.

Please link to âmany placesâ and also link it to 60 odd million Americans.
You claimed many of Trumpâs supporters were anti Semitic and it is hilarious that theyâre now supporting Israel.
Youâll find Trump supporters and the GOP at large have always been more favourable to Israel.
You have no data to back up your claims so are using an isolated example in a nation of 300 million people and enormous geographical spread to duck for cover.
Data, please.
Dinner ,???
More deflection.
I never said anything about the identity of ordinary Americans, you being obsessed with the identity politics the Democrats have to offer has decided to bring that up to protect yourself.
Most ordinary American voters, however, whether conservative or would be Democrat voter, do not live on the Twitter or Facebook talking politics. Journalists being outraged over some frog memes with SS uniforms spawned articles of outrage during the election. Most had NFI what they were on about. This is where you are buying the fallacy that Trump supporters are anti semites.
Given you have admitted to never having been to America, itâs hardly a surprise you would take your lead from those places.
The White House staff are getting accustomed to a President who wakes up early in the morning.

Where are you going with this 60 million nonsense?
Itâs utterly pathetic.
There isnât a question on census forms âare you anti-semitic?â, to which people answer âyesâ, which would appear to be your criteria for determining anti-semitism.
The political parties you support in the US and the Republicans - regularly and mendaciously try and brand people as anti-semitic for opposing Israeli government policy. And yet people like you are totally blind when a Republican candidate then whips up real anti-semitism by embracing the alt-right (far right) and all the anti-semitism and racism that comes with it.
Steve Bannon and Breitbartâs anti-semitism is not in doubt.
You showed your own attitude to real, actual anti-semitism after the election.
This is real anti-semitism, and youâre clearly just fine with it.
Based on a broad set of keywords (and keyword combinations)
designed by ADL to capture anti-Semitic language, there were
2.6 million tweets containing language frequently found in antiSemitic
speech between August 2015 â July 2016.
⢠These tweets had an estimated 10 billion impressions (reach),
which may contribute to reinforcing and normalizing antiSemitic
language on a massive scale.
⢠At least 800 journalists received anti-Semitic tweets with an
estimated reach of 45 million impressions. The top 10 most
targeted journalists (all of whom are Jewish) received 83
_percent of these anti-Semitic tweets. _
There is evidence that a considerable number of the anti-Semitic tweets targeting journalists originate with
people identifying themselves as Trump supporters, âconservativesâ or extreme right-wing elements. The
words that show up most in the bios of Twitter users sending anti-Semitic tweets to journalists are âTrump,â
ânationalist,â âconservative,â âAmericanâ and âwhite.â This finding does not imply that Mr. Trump supported
these tweets, or that conservatives are more prone to anti-Semitism. It does show that the individuals
directing anti-Semitism toward journalists self-identified as Trump supporters and conservatives.
⢠While anti-Semitic tweets tended to spike in the wake of election-related news coverage, the language used
in the anti-Semitic tweets was not solely election-related. Many tweets referenced classic anti-Semitic tropes
(Jews control the media, Jews control global finance, Jews perpetrated 9/11, etc.). This suggests that while
the initial provocation for anti-Semitic tweets may have been at least nominally election-related, the Twitter
users generating targeted anti-Semitism may have used news events as an excuse to unleash anti-Semitic
memes, harassment, etc.
While anti-Semitism was primarily directed at journalists who are Jewish (or perceived to be Jewish), nonJewish
journalists also received anti-Semitic tweets following criticism of Mr. Trump â presumably intended
to be either an insult or threat. This is likely connected to the anti-Semitic tropes related to Jews âcontrollingâ
the media, and the media âcontrollingâ the government.
Protestors are the ones protecting democracy.
Trump, the ultimate snowflake, has wasted no time in clamping down on democracy.
Starting with with his attempts to clamp down on a free press.
I have no problem with people protesting in America. People protesting in Ireland is risible.

Did you think that people in Ireland protesting about Apartheid, genocide in East Timor, the Iraq War, Israeli colonial expansion and bombing, or ISIS is ârisibleâ?
Or should these protests only be confined to people in places directly affected by those things?
Is somebody whose opinion they donât agree with being democratically elected in another country the same as genocide now?

If the Dunnes stores workers hadnât refused to handle South African goods itâs quite likely that South Africa would still be under apartheid.

You think none of the following is worthy of protest?
Removing all references to LGBT rights, climate change and civil rights history from the White House website.
Ramping up support for the rapacious imperial coloniser, Israel.
Ramping up tensions with China which could easily lead to war, especially given his temperament which is completely unfit for being president.
Effectively going to to war against his own intelligence services.
Appointing a cabinet which is utterly craven to corporate interests.
The already clear attempts to clamp down on free press.
The wholesale adoption of Putinâs tactics of non-linear warfare, including a full embrace of fake news and false propaganda. Itâs obvious to any person with the ability to think in any way clearly that Putinâs Russia is the model on which he wants to run the US.
The vilification of all Muslims, Mexicans, the mocking of women, the mocking of disabled people, being deliberately entirely unconvincing in âattemptsâ to distance himself from the KKK and neo-Nazi groups.
Talk about living in a bubble and and an echo chamber.
Oh, and Netanyahu is democratically elected. Apartheid leaders were âdemocratically electedâ. Assad was âdemocratically electedâ. So is Putin. And guess who else was. A chap with a moustache in the 1930s.
So Trump is Hitler? Keep fighting the good fight, bro.
Well, according to him, the media, US intelligence services and John McCain are all âlike something out of Nazi Germany.â
Trump requires an âevilâ bogey figure to drum up support for him, because his popularity is mobilised in the main by hatred.
Before he entered politics, it was the blacks.
Then it was Obama.
When he ran for president, first it was the Mexicans.
Then it was the Muslims.
Then it was the entirely straw man concept of âpolitical correctnessâ.
Then it was âWall Streetâ (even though heâs now boasting of his ties to them and how heâs great for them).
Then it was thinly veiled references to the Jews.
Then it was the âRepublican establishmentâ.
Then it was the media.
Then it was âthe hoax of global warmingâ.
Then it was the Chinese.
Then it was Gonzalo Curiel.
Then it was the Khans.
Then it was Alicia Machado.
Then it was the ârigged electoral systemâ (which curiously became entirely unrigged after he won the electoral college with 2.86m less votes than his opponent).
Then it was Hillary Clinton.
Then it was Bill Clinton.
Then it was Saturday Night Live.
Then it was Obama again.
Then it was his own intelligence services.
Then it was John Lewis.
Now, running out of bogey figures to vilify, itâs the media again.
Invoking hatred against an âotherâ has been the one common theme of not just his political career, but of his life.
The classic fascist tactic, above all.
And you donât see similarities between that and the tactics of Hitler? 
Americans protesting is one thing - Why should Irish people be protesting against a democratically elected president in another country?

What you write is a statement that any âdemocratically electedâ leader of a country should be able to do whatever they want without any form of protest.
Once again, prove that it is many.
You are making a wide reaching comment on the âhypocrisyâ of Trump supporters now supporting Israel when there was some isolated incidents of anti Semitism from a small group of online trolls. 60 odd million Americans is relevant when making that assertion.
The data shows consistently that GOP supporters are more favourable to Israel.
Americans in Israel backed Trump by a majority.
Trump performed to par in terms of other GOP candidates in terms of Jewish support.
So where is your actual data?
What has he done except get elected? How has he trespassed against Ireland, or internationally, that deserves protest? Or are they protesting against what he might do in the future? If Americans elected him, they can deal with him. A load of middle class Paddy potatoes protesting against Trump when theyâve been shat on by EU and their own leaders for nearly ten years is laughable. Influenced my the media is an understatement and youâre portraying the best of gen snowflake in your/their over reaction. Fuck off and make your own country a better place first. Mugs.
