Portola Valley Protesters Face Off with Sheriff's Deputies on Alpine Rd.
Organizers worked hard to nail down the location of Trump's San Francisco Bay Area visit for a fundraiser on September 17. Team Trump played footsie for days leading up to his appearance, saying that they feared a "criminal element" would endanger their event. In the nick of time protest organizers determined the fundraiser location to be a home owned by Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems CEO in Palo Alto Hills.

USA Today and others had this unbelievable quote from Trump regarding California's homeless: “In many cases they came from other countries, and they moved to Los Angeles or they moved to San Francisco because of the prestige of the city, and all of a sudden they have tents — hundreds and hundreds of tents and people living at the entrance to their office building," he said. "And they want to leave."
He made that statement on his way to the SF Bay Area on Air Force One.
Furious that Trump is using the homeless to win over conservative supporters, and of course seething about everything else he's done, protesters scrambled to locate and protest near the site of his September 17 fundraising event.
'Trump would have Californians sweep the homeless off the street and take them straight to jail, it seems," said one demonstrator. Most signs demonstrators displayed, however, just made fun of Trump and his big baby persona.
A giant Trump in diapers balloon was raised over the protest site on Alpine Rd. in the town of Portola Valley, proximate to Palo Alto Hills. The presidential motorcade drove by, as did fundraiser attendees in shuttle buses. Protesters displayed contempt not only for Trump, but also for the local residents who would attend and donate tens of thousands of dollars to his campaign.
One chant was:
Lunch Lunch Lunch — Repugnant bunch
Catered meal with wine that’s aged,
While children linger in a cage.

Thank you for the photos and for being there. To your signs, this writer adds: Proud to Be Disloyal to Nazi Trump! Whether we are Jewish or not, if we are Democrat, Peace & Freedom or Green, Nazi Trump considers all of us who oppose him to be disloyal, and we should all be proud to be on the Disloyal Honor Roll! It is not in memory that any president refers to his opponents, especially those of any religious group, as being disloyal. We have reached new depths in this fascist oligarchy plutocracy in which we live, where poverty is worse than ever, with the homeless, all of whom are local formerly housed residents, not foreigners as anti-immigrant Nazi Trump lied in his visit to our state, being more numerous than ever while luxury housing springs up like mushrooms everywhere and the federal government not only refuses to fund affordable housing for the workingclass but can hardly wait to destroy what little federal affordable housing there is. The question to all voters is are you better off than you were 3 years ago? If not, then Nazi Trump does not represent you and does not deserve your vote. Nazi Trump is a proud LIFELONG rapist, racist, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant, anti-labor, anti-environment war criminal billionaire who has nothing to offer humanity and sits in violation of his oath of office due to all his conflicts of interest. A legal system that has no mechanism to immediately remove him from office due to his conflicts of interest alone is a failure. Let the Disloyal Freedom Train keep rolling across the country to defeat Nazi Trump in November 2020.
