As you'll recall, the Adult Toddler in Chief LOVED big rallies when he was running for office. But now that he's president and he's a target of protest rather than racism-fueled adulation? He's reversed course in the wake of the very well attended Women's March, the more modest Tax March, and numerous other demonstrations that have happened since November 9.

Here's Politico:

The latest flare-up came this past weekend, when Trump’s motorcade took an unexpected detour on Saturday as he returned to his Mar-a-Lago resort from the Trump International Golf Club. The longer route bypassed a throng of protesters, participating in a nationwide demonstration calling for Trump to release his tax returns, as past presidents have done.

The president also vented on Twitter.

“I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?” Trump wrote on Twitter Sunday after Saturday’s tax marches. “Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!”

Trump's emphasis on the election being over here is interesting given that he planned to continue holding his creepy #MAGA rallies even after winning—and his continued fixation on Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote by 2,864,974 votes.

If anyone needs to accept that the election is over, it's him.

But then maybe he'd have to accept that he's the president now. And criticism, like accelerated aging and weird turkey pardons, comes with the job.

It's a shame someone who actually wanted it didn't win. Don't say her name out loud, though. Trump would hate that.

Anyway, the Science March is scheduled for April 22. Clear your schedules now!
