    But participants noted that Mr. Trump had not appeared to be swayed by protests, petitions, hashtag campaigns or other tools of mass dissent.

    No shit. The law doesn’t even sway the guy. What’s he going to care about protests and petitions for?

      He is swayed by loads of bad press. The best shot we have is for the press to put tons of negative attention on the most egregious elements of his administration. Unfortunately, most media is now owned by billionaires who want to make nice with Trump.

      Well, being president is kind of a situation where you get as much power as people allow. Everyone wants to be an edgy doomer in the comments, but it helps no one.

        I agree. But at the same time, there are people that are able to allow it a lot more than others.

      This reminds me of a video I recently watched about how to resist the Trump presidency. Since, he doesn’t seem to be swayed by acts of protest like this.
