A group of protesters disrupted former U.S. President Donald Trump's dinner at a restaurant in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, chanting slogans against his support for Israel and in favor of Palestinian freedom. The incident, captured on video and shared on social media, occurred while Trump was at a seafood and steak restaurant, promoting his proposal to "federalize the police" in the capital.
The demonstration began with applause and boos upon his arrival, but the situation escalated inside the venue. A small group of people carrying miniature Gaza flags stood up and started shouting. Among their chants were: "Free D.C.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!".
Some witnesses claim that the former president stared at the protesters and gestured towards them, although he did not speak to them. The most tense moment occurred when a woman was escorted out of the restaurant while shouting: "You are not welcome in D.C. You are not welcome in Palestine. Palestine is not for sale."
The protesters continued their demonstration outside the venue. The incident has sparked a significant debate, illustrating the political polarization surrounding the former president, even in private events.
