'Not My President!' declare anti-Trump protesters in Atlanta

Several hundred “Not My President’s Day” protesters marched in Atlanta on Monday, arguing Donald Trump is unfit for the White House.

The rally was one of a number taking across the country Monday to coincide with Presidents’s Day.

About 400 demonstrators in Atlanta walked peacefully from Arts Center in Midtown to Lenox Mall carrying signs and chanting

For Tristan Merediz it was his first protest. He’s 72.

“I come from South America,” said Merediz, who has lived in the U.S. for 60 years. “Trumps reminds me of a dictator. The way he attacks the press, the way he attacks the people. Look at (Hugo) Chavez in Venezuela or (Evo) Morales in Bolivia. They’re all the same.”

Merediz said he never thought he’d see such a leader assume the presidency but warned a dictatorship could be established here “if Congress doesn’t stand up to him. We’re heading that way.”

Trump won Georgia in November and many of his supporters appear to be standing behind him. They like his push to crack down in illegal immigration and his choice of a staunch conservative for the U.S. Supreme Court.

As long as you remember that Atlanta is the home of fake news - CNN - and that the MSM has an agenda, this is not surprise.

Ten thousand could rally for Trump and it would not be a new item.

Everything they said they are protesting against, is a lie. They are protesting against what they think they know... they are walking for nothing... they are protesting for nothing... Trump is not doing anything they said they are against... it’s so stupid it’s beyond logic! Where do they come from and where are their brains!

The media is guilty of reporting such nonsense, they have gone beyond the pale to do what they are doing.. feeding the ignorant public with such lies.. can we impeach the media... can we do anything with what is going on!

If they couldn’t pick out a dictator in obama... they don’t know much about anything. That was a HARD 8 years to endure... and the worship the media gave him was sickening.

It’s a nice day here today.. low 70’s ... and they rounded up only 400? All were duped... Trump isn’t doing a single thing they said they are protesting.

I come from South America,” said Merediz, who has lived in the U.S. for 60 years. .................... So he was 12 when he came here? What will make him happy, Trump death squads? If you ask me, if Trump lost, there might have been a few more hits.

Trump is the President of the United States so if he is not “your president” then you obviouly are not a citizen of this country. So, what 3rd world cesspool would you like to be deported to?

So the question is, why do a piddling 400 losers get press coverage?

I think we all know the answer.
