Trump Inauguration Security Planners Brace for Wave of Protesters

WASHINGTON — Security surrounding the inauguration of Donald J. Trump is proving to be the most challenging in recent history, according to senior officials involved in its planning, largely because of the same forces of political rancor that shaped the race for the presidency.

On top of the daunting threats to any inaugural ceremony, the three dozen agencies responsible for security at the Jan. 20 festivities are preparing for the possibility of large numbers of protesters flooding the capital, along with what may be nearly a million supporters of Mr. Trump.

The agencies are worried about the possibility of confrontations between groups of Americans still deeply divided over the election — and at a moment when millions of people around the world will be turning their attention to Washington. At the very least, officials said, protests would put additional pressure on the region’s already-stretched security apparatus.

“To paraphrase Tolstoy: Each inauguration is risky, but each is risky in its own way,” said Michael Chertoff, who was secretary of homeland security under President George W. Bush and oversaw the department for President Obama’s first inauguration, in 2009.

"The 2009 crowd of nearly two million people, a record, included few, if any, protesters and did not lead to a single arrest, according to Christopher T. Geldart, the director of homeland security for the District of Columbia."

That can't be possible. Racist, white America, especially racist Tea Party members, would not tolerate a black president and would go to the streets in protest. /sarc

This might be the one chance the Liberal Progressives have to show Trump as an Unpopular, failed president and provoke him to do something they can use on the news.

They've been trying that for 18 months now.

Like all those huge protests and road blocks to keep the EC people from voting? They are too lazy to even protest.

The good news is that #BikersForTrump will be there as will the Oath Keepers. :)

The Leftist mob will be putting on an unmatched display of hair-tearing, breast-beating, gnashing of teeth, wetting of pants, and weeping at a major event in the dismantling of their Marxist Revolution.

You got that exactly right. Unleash the dogs.

I heard they’re bringing in 250 hungry K9s.

I hope that’s true. Turn ‘em loose!

If I wasn’t too old to get involved (unless heavily armed), I would enjoy mixing it up with these Marxist thugs. So instead I’m relying on the Bikers and Oath Keepers to make it a memorable occasion that the Marxists won’t ever forget, if you get my drift.

I hope that’s true.

And they don't give a damn how big a person is or what color their skin is. It's wonderful.

Put on a real pride parade and for the 'wow' factor, use them to walk along as an escort, on each corner of Trumps limo as it rolls towards the White House. I'd pay good money to see some leftist screw worms rush his limo.

The 0bama regiem will probably enable violence. After all, everyone knows the election was illegitimate. the Democrats lost, so it's illegitimate ipso facto.
