Right click anywhere in the image, then select the first option: "Save video URL".
Then paste the URL wherever, including into your browser address line.

I tried to post the link, but when I did, it posted the video instead.

Painful to watch, but necessary I think. They packed a lot into this display. And it's ALL disturbing, starting with the caged Native American. Then there are the "targets" in the shooting gallery. The Statue of Liberty with a rifle instead of a torch. I honestly hope someone shows this to Trump.

Thanks for posting this, but I wish you hadn't had to.

....colorful themes....mostly usually very happy and musical... But yes, often with current political themes and topics on people's mind or in the news...

This float says so much about how we in the United States are viewed...the disgusting nasty face that is "our face" Donald Trump....with the Americans as a bunch of Cowboys and shooting guns..

The Native American Indian girl in a cage.....the songs and gun shooting and waving of flags....the "shooting gallery" with the target that get shot down and then celebrated - Black man, Mexican in a sombrero, Arab in robes....

This is sadly how we appear to the world with Trump as our face....and based on historical facts and current events..

on many levels and in so many ways.

Here's another example of the respect the world has for drumpf, all the world understands that he will make America first so they are all vying to get the number two slot. More and more nations are jumping on board and drumpf isn't being portrayed in a positive light.
