Democrats want to disrupt Trump's speech in Congress and prepare for protests: details

On the evening of March 4, U.S. President Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress, the first time he will appear before both chambers since returning to office. Democratic lawmakers are discussing various options for protesting Trump's speech, including direct disruption.

Axios writes about this. The publication cites information from several House Democrats.

It is noted that some lawmakers are preparing props for Trump's speech, such as posters, eggs and empty egg trays as a hint of rising prices for this product in the United States, various pocket constitutions that will hint that Trump is violating the Constitution, as well as firecrackers and red cards.

In addition, Democrats said that protesters could be given ties in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. They are also considering the option of a "silent protest," during which participants will not applaud Trump or respond to his words.

The publication emphasized that there are disagreements among Democrats about the most effective form of demonstration against Trump. It is also possible that some lawmakers will leave the hall after the US president utters specific phrases that they consider unacceptable.

As a reminder, Trump is expected to speak in Congress on the evening of March 4 with arguments in favor of his ambitious domestic and foreign policy plans.
