Months after a photo revealed that President Donald Trump used tape to hold his tie together , a new shot of his signature red tie flapping in the breeze has the Internet up in arms .

As POTUS disembarked Air Force One at Orlando International Airport Friday, a photographer captured the moment a gust of wind blew his tie in the air, showing pieces of what appears to be scotch tape holding its two ends together.

The picture has since gone viral, with many Twitter users poking fun at Trump's fashion faux pas. "Trump uses sticky tape to hold his tie down. If that alone isn't grounds for impeachment then what has become of America?," one user joked.

Donald Trump spends 31 percent of time on vacation, plays golf 8 times in 6 weekson taxpayer dime – Daily Kos

Heres Trump during the campaign.

In October 2014, Trump whined via Twitter, We pay for Obamas travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf. A year later, as a presidential candidate, Trump declared that if he were in office, hed dispense with breaks. Id want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, he told voters.

It was four months from the time he took office until Barack Obama played his first weekend game of golf. Four months, in fact, before he took his first day of vacation.Donald Trump didnt make it even two weeks before he left town and violated his promise.

Why would Republicans be so convinced that Obama was constantly playing golf? Well

At the current rate, while Trump is spending your money to cover his amazing laziness, hell easily set a record.George W. Bush finished off with 65 vacation trips totaling 407 days off. Thats three times as much as Barack Obama, but Bush still only spent 14 percentof his presidency snoozing, brush clearing, and learning to paint feet. Trump is set to easily eclipse Bushs eight year total in his first termassuming he completes a term.

Alt-Right, short for Alternative Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that white identity is under attack by multicultural forces using political correctness and social justice to undermine white people. Characterized by heavy use of social media and online memes, Alt-Righters eschew establishment conservatism, skew young, and embrace white ethno-nationalism as a fundamental value. The Alternative Right is a term coined in 2008 by Richard Bertrand Spencer, who heads the white nationalist think tank known as the National Policy Institute, to describe a loose set of far-right ideals centered on white identity and the preservation of Western civilization.

(Video) Pro-Trump Protesters at Berkeley Bring Alt-Right Symbols, Weapons, and Tear Gas – Conatus News

HomePolitics(Video) Pro-Trump Protesters at Berkeley Bring Alt-Right Symbols, Weapons, and Tear Gas

March 5, 2017 Kevin Jenco Politics

(Scroll down for video)

Saturdays march 4 Trump, or march for Trump if you prefer, went exactly as many predicted: lots of shouting and sporadic bouts of violence. What was perhaps less expected was how prepared to commit violence the Trump supporters were. Most of them were easy enough to identify by their red Make America Great Again trucker hats, superfluous American flags and other typical Conservative regalia. Some, however, came dressed as though they were going into battle. One in particular wore paramilitary type garb, carried a wooden shield with an American flag over a silver V. He was prepared with his own gas mask (as well as his own tear gas grenades) and club, all of which he used throughout the day (you can see him in the melee around 2 minutes in the video below as well as at other points).

Many of the anti-protesters came equipped as well. The usual black sweaters and faces covered in bandannas, but what is surprising is that the right usually perpetuates a narrative that they are innocent protesters who are ambushed and attacked by violent leftist anarchists. These Trump supporters were by no means innocent. On several occasions I witnessed them brutally attack the other side, with the type of malice that can only be attributed to pure hatred.

But then why pick Berkeley in the first place? I suspect it was a decision based on the anti-Milo protest at UC Berkeley on February 1st. The Trump supporters likely wanted violence in order to perpetuate their growing narrative that the left are violent and intolerant. Further evidence for this can be seen in the many Trump supporters who came with clubs, knives, and other weapons. In the bay area of California there are almost 7 million people, and this was the only March for Trump in the entire region, but the rather small number of Trump supporters who showed up were the hard core believers. Roughly 60-80 mostly white, mostly not from Berkeley agitators set on getting theirs.

I dont believe that this march was in any way representative of conservatives in America; rather, it was an outing for the alt-right. The antagonistic, militant wing of the far right came out hoping to inspire violence, and likely looking forward to hurting those they see as inferior Americans. Alt-right symbols were scattered all around the pro-Trump crowd. From Pepe the frog and Dont tread on me flags, to numerous individuals wearing Infowars shirts. This was indeed a march for Trump, filled with his most loyal followers.

Im not arguing that the anti-Trump protesters were peaceful and innocent either. Many certainly came for the same purpose as the Trump supporters. Compared to the measly 60-80 Trump supporters, there were a massive number on the other side. The anti-Trump protesters brought their own clubs and helmets, ready for the clash we all knew would occur, but many told me they had wished for a peaceful counter protest to show they really are better. Undoubtedly, the next four years will contain many more protests, and the violence will continue, stoked by a hatred so deep, and so unnecessary.
