Opera singers joined a multi-day protest outside of the White House on Thursday night, singing the national anthem to try and keep President Trump awake.

Adam Parkhomenko, a former adviser to Hillary Clinton, has been organizing the “Occupy Lafayette Park” protests following Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Opera singers Molly Pinson Simoneau and Carl Rountree stood outside the White House and sang the Star Spangled Banner on Thursday evening.

Hundreds of people came to “welcome” Trump back from Helsinki on Monday night and have returned to keep Trump from getting a good night's sleep. The protest moves into its fifth day on Friday night.
