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.

Make like a flower and leave.
Or something.
This time, flowers. Next time...?
That is funny.
OMG!! That video is priceless! The look on her face at the end when the security guard gives he the single flower speaks volumes!!
One lone dahlia to carry on... LOL
ROFL....Trump couldn’t pay for publicity like that!
Wow...she really thought that out!
There's something both refreshing and amusing about the experience.
Did Trump or anyone know that the yellow dahlia was the flower of Mexico ???
Plus why didn’t she just spend that money on a plane ticket home to Mexico ???
After today’s stock market, I needed a good laugh.
She would have made a far greater impact by having the bushell of flowers broken up into maybe ten smaller bunches. These little bunches of flowers could have been carried by ten “proud” illegals. What is described here sounds like from a Charlie Chaplin Silent Movie, rag time piano playing in the background.
Too bad about all those lovely flowers!
Dahlia Symbolism
The symbolic meaning of the dahlia in the Victorian language of flowers has survived. When given as a gift, the dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment and bond that lasts forever. The dahlia flower is still used today in gardens and flower arrangements to celebrate love and marriage.

Too bad for the misuse of all those lovely yellow dahlias for a misguided protest, and for their fate at the hands of the Trump Tower personnel!!!!
One of the funniest videos I have ever seen!
So much winning! We never get tired of winning!
Hope she went and got drunk after that fiasco. I would’ve.
That was hilarious.
