Flower protest against Donald Trump could have used better planning
NY Post ^ | September 28, 2015 | Chris Perez

A woman with a huge bouquet of yellow dahlias, the national flower of Mexico, tried her best to deliver them to the doorstep of Donald Trump — but her petaled protest quickly turned into a comedy show when she was unable to navigate her way through a revolving door.

Clutching 1,000 flowers in her arms as if she was competing in the Atlas Stone event at the World’s Strongest Man competition, Stephanie Mercades attempted to make a statement on Monday as she dropped off the plants in front of the Trump Tower in Manhattan, TMZ reported.

Each dahlia also contained a note from a Latin immigrant that sarcastically thanked Trump for his controversial views on Mexicans and immigration.

But when it came time to make her grand entrance, gravity reared its ugly head and caused Mercades to fumble the flowers in epic fashion.

Video shows the Trump-hater struggling with the ridiculously massive bouquet — which completely blocks her view. At one point, Mercades can be seen stomping on the yellow dahlias as she tries her best to leave no vine behind.

After several more minutes of hilarity, Trump Tower security guards come outside and confiscate the flowers, leaving Mercades with just a single dahlia to remember them by.

It’s interesting that she’s so supernationalista-mejicana-in-your-face proud of her heritage that she chose to hide it by dying her hair blonde.

Yup, didn’t like how she buried her face and was allowed to carry out what ever little scheme she had devised.

They reacted decidedly well, but something’s up with this.

Dry run?

(Yikes, I need to get out more)

So why the Mexican national flower? Is she American? Is she a citizen? Are her loyalties with the United States?

Why not the (North) American national flower whatever it is?
