This photo would have more of an effect if there was a credible source for it. I can't even read the banner to Google it. I had to reverse image search.

This trend of screenshots rather than links degrades discourse.

"trump banner dc"

You'll find it to be a very effective search engine query.

It says "American Workers First".

The picture comes from the WSJ article linked to in the Mastodon post. https://archive.is/QDS8P

For me the first page of a Google search does not link to stories with this image with the military standing in front. Except for one link to the Boston Globe which displays for a second before paywall blocking.

That is why the general netiquette is to share the link in the first place.

That link was not clickable from OP because it was a screenshot. I manually typed it in but forgot to use uppercase so it returned a Hillary Twitter thread https://archive.is/qds8p

Of course I know what the banner says now because I found a decent source which I have in my comment.

This is so wild. But it's so infuriating how the left has this type of ammunition and yet not fucking guns to do anything with it.

Someone really needs to add googly eyes to these.

If you haven’t removed people from your life who DONT know that Trump and his cohort is a menace then… what’s the point here now?

Either they are a future ____ , or just let them be.
