Trump delivered the observation to reporters before exiting Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews when approached about the demonstrations, waving them and their puerile participants away by saying, “I think it’s a joke.”
“I looked at the people — they’re not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs… I guess it was paid for by [George] Soros and other radical left lunatics,” Trump continued. “It looks like it was. We’re checking it out.”
“The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country,” he added.
Trump then made clear his work as a democratically elected leader is far removed from that of an hereditary monarch.
