As any resident will tell you, New Yorkers love nothing more than complaining about the millions of non-English speaking citizens who make up the bulk of the city’s working class and service economy sector.

That is why a several pro-Trump groups are set to descend on Trump Tower in Manhattan for a “Speak English Please!” rally.

“This rally is a celebration of freedom of speech and the beautiful and complex English language,” the event’s Facebook description reads. “Attacks on our language are one way that America is being stripped of its greatness. Therefore, promoting proficiency in English is one way to Make America Great Again!”

The demonstration, which is scheduled for noon on Saturday, bills itself as a peaceful celebration. A Facebook graphic publicizing the event, however, shows a MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporter with the barrel of gun forced into his mouth.

“Our goal is not to agitate or inflame but rather to unite,” the Facebook caption reads. “We believe our message is universal and beneficial to people of all ethnic/national backgrounds.”

But as is often the case, the peaceful veneer of the rally obscures some more extreme ties of the organizers, who have a history of brawling and agitation at public events.

The event has been organized by three groups; The Modern Patriots by Jovi Val, Boston Free Speech and Resist Marxism (also Boston-based).

5. There's only one proper response

The NYPD must create a buffer zone between the MAGAts and any counterprotesters who may show up. It seems to me that hiring enough immigrant-owned food carts to completely surround the half of the block Trump Tower is on would provide the necessary barricade, keep the counterprotesters well fed, and show the MAGAts what New York really thinks of their god, all in one go.
