Great Post Mike! Question: Now what? We showed that we can make way cool signs and get out on a Saturday afternoon. But can we marshal that “feel good” energy into real economic boycott and civil disobedience resistance? I’d love to see your list of next steps. Thanks for ALL you do!
True Patriotic Americans made themselves a little more visible yesterday. Trumpolini probably didn’t see it and knows nothing about it, like he’s never seen the likes of which before. Bigly.
At the next Joint Session that includes him, the second Trumpolini starts to open his hole to sprechen, I want all the Democrats to rise to their feet and start singing the National Anthem.
When they are done, and Der Fuhrer again opens his hole, they need to recite the National Anthem.
Oops... My Editor had the day off... I meant that the Democrats should sing the National Anthem to shut up the Nether Nazi and make everybody in Congress stand. Then they should recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Maybe then singing America The Beautiful for emphasis. Ooh! .. and then maybe singing Ave Maria while strolling in front of the podium. Come on, you Congress members and Senators. Show us what you got!
Oh Michael, You made my day. I can’t decide which I like better, the beautiful pictures of Americans standing up for our country or the fantastic portraits of what the fight is about. Thank you. Love the witch hunt btw. May be my favorite of all. Bless everyone who participated👏♥️🇺🇸
Kelly! I can't decide which pics are my faves, they all have impact in their own right. Like music, art is international, gotta love it. Thank you all my Dem brothers ans sister young and Golden Aged, like me ;)
“How to become the richest man on the planet in 100 days” by Donald J. Trump
As you may have realized, President Donald Trump is following Herbert Hoover’s playbook that worsened the Great Depression in 1930 by imposing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff.
But the question is why?!
I would put my money on Donald‘s ability to manipulate the stock market with all those tariffs.
Step 1 - He crashes the stock market with 150+ tariffs … not to mention the way he did it … with all the “on again, off again” uncertainty exacerbating things.
Step 2 - He buys up all the fallen blue-chip stock at bargain basement prices.
Step 3 (on or before April 30) - He removes all the tariffs and watches gleefully as the stock market rebounds, bragging to everyone: “See what a great man I am — I just alleviated all the pain those pesky tariffs caused. And by the way, where’s all the thanks you should be giving me?”
Step 4 - When the markets peak again, he sells off most of his stock, buys gold, and in the process pockets billions, making him the first trillionaire in history and the richest man on the planet. Of course, that will earn him another front cover on TIME magazine.
The cryptocurrency he’s been peddling right now is going to give him one hell of a lot of cash to buy up all that devalued blue-chip stock.
“President Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial crypto project said on Monday that it raised $250 million in its second token sale, bringing the total amount of coins sold to $550 million.
WLFI, a venture backed by the first family that describes itself as a sort of crypto banking platform, launched in October, weeks before Trump's election victory. In a document published at the time of launch, WLFI said the Trump family could take home 75% of net revenue.”
And let’s not forget another source of cash Donald can use — his gold cards. As described by Forbes:
“Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced in late March the sale of 1,000 Gold Cards this week, raising $5 billion in a single day.”
Donald told reporters on Air Force One, “For $5 million, this could be yours.”
According to Forbes magazine:
“Priced at $5 million each, President Trump introduced these Gold Cards in February 2025, as an opportunity for wealthy foreign citizens to work and live in the United States, granting them permanent U.S. residency and effectively replacing the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program.” How nice is that!
Some say that Donald and Putin are in it together. But Donald is not in it with Putin. He’s in it for himself. He wants to be the richest man in the world (even richer than Putin) in his first 100 days as president. (That gives him until April 30, 2025.)
Look, who’s the only guy in the world who can make the stock market go up and down “on command” and get away with it? Why, of course, the one guy who can impose sweeping tariffs on practically every country in the world … and then with a simple tweet, sweep them away. Now that’s pure power, wouldn’t you agree?
Question: But could Donald be charged with “insider trading”?
Sure, but no matter … because if and when Donald gets caught, all he has to do (being as he’s the President) is declare himself IMMUNE and guess what? … He gets off Scott-Free … with all that money 💰… “tax-free,” I might add. … Don’t forget American billionaires (in a class of their own) have just been given a special tax break by POTUS because, in the end, they are helping the economy, aren’t they? … I mean one way or another? 😂 They do buy stuff, don’t they?
I repeat … “Why is Trump following Herbert Hoover‘s Playbook?” To commit the “Crime of the Century” and get away with it “In Plain Sight.”
Oh yes, don’t forget, Donald can pardon any of his fellow conspirators who participate in his “insider trading” scheme to get rich themselves. Because he’s the president! And if his billionaire co-conspirator buddies don’t cooperate, he may withhold that pardon (without prejudice) as he threatened to do with the disgraced Mayor of NYC — Eric Adams.
Now perhaps you’ll understand, after the stock market crashes of the last two days (April 3 and 4), why Donald is playing golf and telling everyone: “'This Is a Great Time to Get Rich!”
What gets me is that no Democrats or Indie Media critics have called Donald out on his outrageous plot! —
“The Question is Why?!”
IF ONLY WE HAD “DIRECT DEMOCRACY” AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL & THE TOOLS TO ‘RECALL’ DONALD, then we could toss him out with a few million signatures and have a new election within 60 odd days, which hopefully would set things right.
The answer to “What’s Next?” is simple: We all demand Congress pass Direct Democracy legislation at the federal level. (If they are looking for an excuse, it’s to prevent this type of thing from ever happening again!) See Mike Gravel’s book: “Citizen Power” for a draft of the legislation. If we had it (as many states do), we could RECALL any president, including Trump, with about 10 million signatures within 60 days and force another election. Simple as that!
I agree - following the money, you have to look at what trump has personally done with any action he takes to make himself (and his family, who also get to suck up money from other people's hardship) rich, rich, rich.
This is all great Michael but one day is just a start. This needs to happen weekly and in some places, daily. 10 years ago the protests in Ukraine were non-stop with food being served, toilets set up and people coming and going to work and home. We need to find common cause and not go play hissy fits when are particular issue is not addressed strongly enough.
Michael, just so you know, according to Peter Kobs of the Record Eagle, Traverse City rally brought over 4,000 people out. Nearby Benzonia had 350! Benzonia! I was in TC. Amazing! Truly. 6.5 million nationwide. We need more. Thank you for keeping us engaged with your fun portrait project. Thank you for your work. It inspires us!
Michel , first you have to make a Book of all these great , faboulious work ! I will get it if you donate the sales to Charity which I know you would cause that’s you ❤️ I and My husband stood in the cold rain with our fellow Albany ,NY people best sign I saw was held by a little girl
Thank y'all for doing cold/rain duty! We had a sunny day (in Seattle, go figure!) but our Ukraine rally a month or so back was pretty Albany-esque, so I really appreciate the folks who braved weather to do this.
Yesterday was a great day; DC crowd was huge, angry and loving, energetic. I truly appreciate your crowd photos given the minimization in almost all media of the size and energy of the day! As always, love the brilliance of our people/your supporters reflected in the latest batch of portraits.
Mike, please publish a book of these masterful portraits!
Please sign and help circulate The People’s Articles of Impeachment Against Donald J. Trump:
https://chng.it/mXLxNB9nRH
Almost all the signs were hand made, as opposed to the MAGA rallies. Says volumes about sincerity!
Trump’s rally minions are paid to carry signs and cheer the Untergropenfuhrer in front of the cameras. All hail the Nether Pig!
That is an insult to pigs, who are more intelligent than dogs, who, in turn are more intelligent than the Tangerine Tyrant!
I cannot disagree. But the votes are in, and the eyes have it.😜

After that, they should walk out.
Or make farting noises when the Hole opens.
Great TV! 📺

Sign held by little girl that said ..Donald Trump is a Do Do Head !
There is a fake Michael Moore who is contacting folks so just fyi. He subscribed to me and announced a newsletter. I blocked him♥️
Will this help? He is secluded from everyone but his cronies.
Yesterday was a great day; DC crowd was huge, angry and loving, energetic. I truly appreciate your crowd photos given the minimization in almost all media of the size and energy of the day! As always, love the brilliance of our people/your supporters reflected in the latest batch of portraits.
Thanks for fighting the good
fight.
Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing the crowds throughout the country protesting against Trump….gives us HOPE and encouragement.
As always grateful YOU fight the good fight..
I will support Barbara Lee.
Focus on the LOVE and TRUST the process
