Thank you for standing up to TRUMP" with the quote "See you in court" appearing in the upper right corner A hand written paper sign caught in some branches reads "Thank you if you voted against TRUMP" with the words TYRANT, RECKLESS, UNKIND, MANIACAL, and PESTILENT written vertically descending from the word TRUMP. At the bottom it says "Please educate yourself."
