A group of University of Washington students showed their support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by building a “Trump wall” on the school’s Red Square.

Two days after Donald Trump made his first campaign visit to Washington state, a group of University of Washington students erected a “Trump wall” on UW’s Red Square on Monday to show their support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

About 10 Trump supporters, most of whom appeared to be UW students, erected the plywood wall at about 1 p.m. It was painted to resemble a brick wall, with the words “Trump Wall” painted over the bricks.

The crowd grew to more than 100 people, most of whom oppose Trump’s candidacy. Anti-Trump protesters waved signs saying “Stop Trump now” and “Immigrant lives matter,” and unveiled a long black banner that read: “Zero tolerance for walls or hate.” A man carrying a life-size cutout photo of Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders wordlessly set it in front of the wall

“Immigrant lives Matter”? Has anyone implied that immigrants should be killed?

Hmmm...”UW’s Red Square?” Doesn't surprise me at all.

Waiting for the “BIG ONE” to take the three left coast states into the Pacific.

This is good. It is what Free speech on campus is supposed to be.

The ones committing capital crimes (not a trivial number) certainly should.

student Crystal Pino, helped up by fellow students, went over the 8-foot-high wall...

“I’m Mexican, and to see this all going on is really upsetting,” Pino said.

The wall just got ten feet higher.

That took guts, I am supersized they were not attacked. The left responds to micro aggression with real aggression and violence.

They do matter, but let their countries of origin send them with bags of money for their support or let them go home.

None through American children should get support. Residency of the parent should be established and if it can’t that is like having unsupervised children here.

There is something to be said about putting the age for voting at 25....by that time the citizen should have some skin in the game....these protesters are spending a lot of time goofing off on their parents dime.....

Actually this is very encouraging. After all, any wall breach, including the PC wall of stupidity, the actual breach is made by the few smart, courageous and strong. The weaker minded among us will soon follow. Go get em guys.

My point is that another “Red Square” is in Moscow, home of the commies that are succeeding in slowly undermining our society through colleges.

They don’t have “free speech” in Russia and have not had it for almost 100 years! Is that good?

That's nice - are you hoping for millions of Americans to die?
