Suggestion for when Trump gets back on Saturday

Get as many people, as many choirs if need be, to sing "The Eyes of Texas" along whatever route he takes:

With special emphasis on the last two-thirds of the lyrics:


"The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn --
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
Til Gabriel blows his horn."


I've heard that, in 1918 or so, U of T students sang it all night outside of the governor, who was about to be driven out of office.

Maybe get a recording of everybody in the hurricane shelters singing it.

It would be just like Trump to have folks roughed up while singing it.

If you pass it on, feel free to tell 'em it's your idea.
