A man ended up at the hospital Tuesday after he tried to light himself on fire outside the Trump International Hotel in Northwest D.C.
Hotel employees called the police and D.C. Fire responded to a call of a man trying to set himself on fire around 9:30 p.m.
NBC Washington reports that the man is from California and is protesting the election of Donald Trump.
In a video the man can be heard saying he tried to light himself on fire as an act of protest.
The man was taken to the hospital with burns. He is expected to be OK.

Meanwhile, President Trump couldn’t care less. As he shouldn’t.

Liberals are so stupid, they don’t even know how to set themselves on fire.

Anyone have the concession on Biv lighters. If I was there I’d offer lighters to the protesters and tell them they could really make a statement.

Can’t imagine how painful it would be. The guy probably has a mental problem and I will have some compassion instead of mocking him.
