Time Text
Anti-Trump Parade 00:01:32
Tell us about why you're wearing this and what inspired it.
Because I am very anti-Trump.
I'm for democracy in America.
I don't want kings.
I don't want dictatorship.
So I'm here to support America and the people that need the help that we're not getting sometimes.
Okay, and how is Trump exhibiting king-like behavior?
He's doing king-like behavior by sending, having military parade would be a good idea.
National Guard going out, not following the Constitution.
Several things.
Okay, all right.
It's his birthday today.
I know.
Do you have a happy birthday message to him?
I hope I see you obituary in the paper tomorrow.
Okay.
That'd be a message, Anne.
Okay.
So you hope that he, this is his last birthday?
Well, I don't want him dead.
I just want him not in office anymore.
Well, obituary would mean dead.
I know.
I was being sarcastic.
I would just like him out of office.
Out of office.
Would you like J.D. Vance to be the president then?
I would not.
Okay.
Yeah, I would not.
Why would you like to be the president?
Kamala Harris right now, but she didn't win.
Can I point out something?
We say no kings and no authoritarianism, but Kamala Harris, no one voted for her.
Yes, they did.
Half the country voted for her, so let's not vote for her.
No one was voted for her to be the nominee.
Yes, they did.
Isn't that what, like, authoritarian?
You're going down the wrong road right now with me.
I wouldn't go any further.
What does that mean?
I'm not going to talk to anyone.
That's what it means.
I just think it's ironic that no one voted for her to be the nominee.
They just selected her like a king gets selected, right?
Keep it to yourself.
Okay.
Bye.
Have a good day.
See ya.
Take care.
Eva, what'd your other sign say?
You don't need to see it.
Okay.
All right.
