Video: 'Lock Him Up,' Protesters Chant as Trump Arrives at White House

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were greeted at the White House on Sunday by chants of "lock him up" as protesters demonstrated outside the building for a seventh day straight.

In video shared on social media, the president and first lady can be seen making their way into the building as protesters bellow "lock him up, lock him up." The activists are holding up signs and banners and playing instruments.

Both Trump and Melania appeared to ignore the protesters' calls.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

How I wish I could be there to add my voice and be counted among the numbers GOOD JOB, ALL!!

Just as an aside, when Melly and the Con are off on their weekend jaunts, what do they do with their spawn?
How is it that he's never seen leaving or returning with them? Did they take "Lock him up" to mean Barron? Is he a "Flower in the Attic"? Is this another example of "I don't care...Do you?" Does his father ever see him?

don't have to leave the comfort of home, and no cover charge.

I think they need a loud bluegrass band or maybe a Caribbean steel drum band added to the repertoire. Those kettle drums can be da' bomb!

Noriega wouldn't come hiding out of his house so to get him out they played really loud rock music. I think this is more entertaining for the resisters than irritating for the moron and Melanie. They should fling what sounds he hates the most and use that. Maybe they should play Obama's Inaugural speeches and parades on volume #11 outside of the W House 24/7.

They never chanted to have him locked up, because he never did anything that would precipitate it.

Then their fantasy nasty turned to Hillary, and their empty chants were pathetic but cut to the core.

Here, we have the perpetrator of treason sitting in the White House. These chants are not only appropriate, they are necessary. We don't protest unless we have something to protest.

And damned if we don't have a LOT to protest.

Does anyone remember how the republicans attacked Hillary Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky saga? They criticized her for staying with Bill Clinton, even had the song by country singer Tammy Wynette "Stand by your Man" play all the time.

Why is it that no one is saying anything about Melania "Standing by her Man" who has cheated at least twice on her for a total of $300,000.00 with two different women, almost $150,000.00 a piece? And the other story about the pregnant woman who someone else claims he had the affair and not the man-child?

I understand that democrats, for the most part are very civil and polite, but these are not times to be 100% civil or 100% polite. I feel for Melania but this is not about her, it is about the republicans hypocrisy.

Now he knows true Americans will not tolerate treason.

On a side note, while running errands today, I drove through a wealthy GOP area. An elderly gentleman was holding a "Trump is a Traitor" sign. I honked and he waved back. The tang head has woken a sleeping giant. We're gonna take our country back, send all the traitors to prison and if they get out, let's boot 'em over to Russia.
