A second consecutive day of protests against U.S. President Donald Trump's month-old administration appeared to lose momentum on Friday, with rallies in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York attracting small yet enthusiastic crowds.

Activists had called for a "general strike" a day after thousands of immigrants across the United States stayed home from work and school during "A Day Without Immigrants" to highlight the contributions of foreign-born workers to the American economy.

Strike4Democracy, one of the groups organizing Friday's strike, said more than 100 public protests were expected around the country.

In New York, more than 16,000 people responded to a Facebook page set up for a rally at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, but fewer than 200 protesters were at the park an hour after the posted start time....

Anti-Trumpers are becoming deflated and flat; their numbers are lagging

200 out of all of NYC. Cancelled altogether in Boston.

Looks more like the general workers' strike is against Soros, not the US.

Let’s give Reuters CREDIT here...they are accurately reporting that the anti-Trump people are about finished with their ‘mass protesting’...as they’re realizing that it’s not having any effect on Trump, and not even other elected Republicans. Looks like their little game is about over.

“Activists had called for a ‘general strike’ a day after thousands of immigrants across the United States stayed home from work and school during ‘A Day Without Immigrants’ to highlight the contributions of foreign-born workers to the American economy.”

A guy on local talk radio today proposed a, ‘Straight White Christian Man Boycott Day’ where every man that fits that description across America closes up his store, restaurant, mechanic shop, hotel, bakery, liquor store, etc. for the day...just to see what happens.

Soros does not seem to be catching onto “The Art Of The Deal” very well.

‘Must be the commie in him.

Yep - one of the good things about the constant protests is that the protest crowd is getting worn out with nothing to show for it - the demoralizers are becoming demoralized....
