"President Donald Trump gave Washington’s May Day crowd a loud reminder of who controls the airspace Friday, flying out of the White House in Marine One as protesters below jeered and raised middle fingers at the chopper overhead.The flyover came as thousands of Americans were expected to join an economic blackout for International Workers’ Day, with walkouts from school and work, plus marches and block parties organized across the country. Organizers said more than 3,500 “May Day Strong” events were scheduled for Friday, including one staged just outside the White House.
Protesters were speaking over loudspeakers when the president’s helicopter cut through the noise. As Marine One passed overhead, the crowd turned toward the aircraft and flipped him off.
Organizers across the country called for ICE to be abolished, for the war to end and for higher taxes on the wealthy, while urging participants to take part in the economic blackout."
