How did they get up so early in the morning?
Via NY Post:
Dozens of protesters yelling “shame” gathered across the street from Cipriani on East 42nd Street early Saturday where President Trump was to attend a breakfast fundraiser.
“New York hates Trump,” several protesters shouted.
“I believe it’s time to stop lining the pockets of the rich and stealing from the poor,” said John Eng, a 54-year-old real estate agent from Manhattan who was holding a sign declaring, “The poor will have to eat the rich.”
The protesters were particularly enraged by the Senate’s early-morning passage of a $1.2 trillion tax reform bill supported by Trump. A few shouted “Kill the bill, don’t kill us.”
“That tax plan is an abomination,” said Melissa Carpenter, a 51-year-old lawyer from Bayside who wore a Guy Fawkes mask for the occasion. “He has some balls to come here.”
