Yep all the previous Tax Day marches, up until POTUS Donnie took office, were free and all about being a patriot. But now anything of the sort, well there’s probably a Craiglist ad for paid protesters – PB/TK

While world discusses North Korea missile launch, Trump complains about tax marches – By Zach Ford April 16 2017

Sunday morning tweets are a peculiar tradition for President Trump, and his long weekend at Mar-a-Lago didn’t interrupt it. Though almost all news media discussed North Korea’s failed missile launch, Trump was instead complaining about the Tax Day marches.

Some 150 marches took place Saturday across the country, with thousands in attendance demanding that Trump release his tax returns. Trump seemed to think they were simply rehashing the election.

As signs made clear, the marchers were not concerned about the election, but about Trump’s many financial connections. If he’s in any way profiting off of the presidency or if he has foreign financial ties — both of which seem likely — those would be serious, impeachment-worthy concerns. Many marchers seemed to suspect that his tax returns would specifically reveal collusion with Russia, as evidence mounts of coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Trump didn’t acknowledge any of these concerns, instead dismissing the marches as “small” and implying the protesters were paid to show up.
