Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks.

Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

People just don't realize how big these protests really are.

The counters are still counting but so far its more than 7 million which puts this at the largest protests in US history.

First, a bit of backstory. This spring, I started tracking how many times immigration agents detained American citizens.

I spoke to experts who warned that the scattered cases I initially found would only grow as Trump's aggressive deportation plans took shape.
