Air Force One grunted and groaned and somehow managed to drag its corpulent freeloader all the way out to the Golden State yesterday. Shamefully, it was Trump's first visit to California since his electoral college selection to the presidency sixteen months before. And, as might be expected, the heretofore ignored Californians were ever so happy to see him!
Trump was in California to promote his hateful border wall and to attend a $35,000-a-plate fundraiser. Trump likely ate free.
In addition to snarling traffic everywhere he went, The Donald stirred protests in and around San Diego, San Ysidro, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Santa Monica. Many of the anti-Trump gatherings were loud and raucous, although the national media for the most part ignored Trump's visit as well as the ensuing circus. To be fair, there were also protests in support of Trump, but those were minimized by the chaos and energy of the anti-Trump protesters.
A young screenwriter I know who was in Los Angeles yesterday shared this observation:

"Just drove past a huge anti-Trump rally. There were some enormous military choppers hovering overhead, and all the people were waving their signs up at them. Pretty cool sight. Probably as close as I will come to the rallies of the 60s."I suspect that today's students and young adults will experience numerous echoes of the 1960's. Having a fascist in the nation's highest office is the type of thing that stirs idealism among the masses and brings the fires of liberty out into the streets. Buckle up, America. It's going to be a bumpy ride!
