Trump deposition draws protest by HRC morning after huge Orlando vigil in Dupont Circle

On the morning of the 16th of June, appearance by Donald Trump at a DC law firm to give a deposition drew protesters from the nearby Human Rights Campaign. The previous night thousands had gathered in Dupont Circle to remember those killed by theocratic hate in Orlando, Florida. Some of them no doubt came from HRC, so when Trump showed up they were probably not inclined to tolerate his throwing more fuel on the flames of hate and religious warfare.

Donald Trump was in town because he is suing a Latino cook for pulling out of a contract to cook at the Trump Hotel and had to give a deposition in this ugly case. He had to resort to a side entrance to avoid encountering the protesters directly.

On the afternoon of June 16, menacing developments were reported from a brewing protest of a Trump appearance in Dallas, Texas. Some of the pro-Trump counterprotesters were reported to be carrying pistols and even automatic rifles.
