    Protesters, including many Americans living in France, took to the streets Saturday in the Eiffel Tower neighborhood behind a large banner “Paris against Trump.”

    Youssef Al-Moughrabi, born in California and studying in Paris, told The Associated Press that “we are not contesting election results. But in every democracy I believe there is a government and there is an opposition, in a healthy democracy, and we are the opposition.”

    Many placards could be seen in the crowd with messages against racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, “homophobia” and “white nationalism.”

    What about Trumpaphobia?

    President Trump will respect more human rights than IRAN the TERRORIST nation and newly found friend of Obama, more respect than any other nation in the middle east, more respect that the United Nations human right commission.

    Why hasn’t there been one story about how vice president elect Mr. Pence was bood while attending the play Hamilton.? Even the cast of the show started a political talking to him from the stage. And this play advertises that they only wanted black and Hispanic people to try out! Talk about racism! But I don’t expect any news like this on vin.

    Isn’t it odd that after Islamic terrorists murdered two hundred French civilians last year, including French Jews, that there wasn’t a similar demonstration against those terrorists, by the same weirdos who are now demonstrating against Trump? Paris is a hotbed of anti-semitism, jihadists, and Arab nationalists. France (along with the UK and Germany), have become countries which have been taken over by thousands of Muslims who hate “infidels”. Hence, the demonstration against Trump by those phonies are meaningless.

    I see the signs are in English so since they are most likely ex-pat. who left the country because of the other presidents so what is their problem now? They appear to be disappointed again, it appears any government the U.S. has, Republican or Democrat they are disappointed in.
