Protesters shouted ‘Trump is the Hitler of our time!’ as he had a meal near the White House to promote his deployment of the National Guard
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump faced protesters shouting “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” as he dined at a Washington restaurant, videos posted online showed.
The US president approached the shouting protesters in the restaurant, pausing a few feet away from them for a few moments, nodding and smiling without offering a response, The Guardian Reported.
Seconds later, Trump gestured for the area to be cleared out, saying “come on, let’s go.”
Secret Service agents then moved the protesters, who waved Palestinian flag. Others in the restaurant can be heard booing or chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
Trump had dinner on Tuesday at a seafood restaurant near the White House, promoting his deployment of the National Guard and federalising the police force in the nation’s capital.
His travelled the short distance to Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak + Stone Crab on 15th Street in the Northwest quadrant of the city after weeks of the president boasting about mobilising federal authorities and the military that he says have made Washington “a safe zone”.
Cheers were heard as the president stepped out of his limo, along with a smattering of boos and chants from protesters opposing US policy in support of Israel in its war with Hamas in Gaza.

“We’re standing right in the middle of DC, which as you know about, over the last year, was a very unsafe place – over the last 20 years – and now it’s got virtually no crime,” Trump told reporters.
He added that he wouldn’t have stood out “in the middle of the street” as recently as a couple of months ago.
