        This photo captures the moment an ordinary, average, conservative derp transforms into an American Nazi. It will happen this quickly to millions of Trump voters, with no hint of awareness on their part that they have become the creatures their grandfathers fought 70 years ago. pic.twitter.com/xUR41k5WsJ

        This makes sense. I can appreciate the low tech method of keeping track of appointments. Obviously he had scheduled to block the photographer's camera. Check that off the todo list.

        If there was a picture of the protester, it would have been eaten up in the bad news dump Fridays always are, but a photo like this gets a place in the countless examples of coverup
