Madison Square Garden, NY — Robert Jones would have been in church on Sunday if he hadn’t felt called upon to sing on a street corner outside Madison Square Park.
“He’s a con with a cult,” Jones sang as former President Donald Trump’s followers strolled by.
Jones, from Chicago, was just one among a crowd of protesters who came to share their concerns about what a second Trump administration would mean for the U.S.
The Chicagoan told Raw Story he feared good people were being led astray by a man who put his name in God’s Bible.
“Trump is a liar,” said Jones Sunday. “We all know that.”
Jones fears Trump’s followers respond to racist dog whistles that see him embrace the support of South African Elon Musk but argue those who cross the southern border have “bad genes.”
“It’s people of color that’s a trigger,” he said. “We have to take the chains off our brains.”
Mike Hisey, 61, came dressed in pajamas, a Trump mask with wild yellow hair and a walker.
He’s been protesting Trump for eight years and used to wear a convict’s yellow jumpsuit until recently.
“He’s really mentally declined," Hisey said. “It’s just an image of fragility.”
Hisey called Trump supporters “Soft Nazis.” He was not the only protester to speak of fascism.
“It’s the maintenance of white supremacy,” said Eric, 70. He called Trump’s rhetoric “absolute bulls---“ and “Very Hitlerian.”
Mostly the Trump supporters ignored such protests, but they roared with rage when one man flipped them the bird and screamed, “F—- Trump.”
Shouted one man, “Get deported!”
Eric had a similar message for Trump: “Go home. Crawl into bed with Melania.”
