President Trump isn’t phased by anything.
On Tuesday night, President Trump visited Joe’s Seafood in downtown Washington, D.C.
As President Trump entered the restaurant, he was met by “Code Pink” protesters who began to chant “Free Palestine” and proceeded to call him “Hitler.”
As a response, President Trump stared down the protesters.
NBC News reported more on the protesters interrupting President Trump’s visit:
President Donald Trump’s rare outing to a local restaurant Tuesday night got off to a rocky start when he came face to face with protesters.
Trump, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other administration officials, arrived by motorcade at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab less than a quarter-mile from the White House.
Trump briefly spoke to reporters on the street outside the restaurant, where he was met with cheers and some chants of “free Palestine.”
Once he was inside, as he greeted restaurant patrons, a group of protesters holding Palestinian flags began chanting, “Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time.”
The activist group Code Pink claimed credit for the protests. In a video on its social media accounts, Trump is seen approaching the protesters before he stands in front of them and smiles. He then gestures for them to leave, and they are escorted out of the restaurant as a protester says, “He’s terrorizing communities in D.C.”
Watch the moment it went down here:
Holy smokes.

Here’s another angle:
How did Code Pink get so close to our president?
How did Code Pink know he would be there? This was NOT a public event.
Why were they able to SHOUT and YELL at the president for so long?!?

CBS Austin reported more details on Trump’s visit:
But alas, the president took his cabinet out to eat at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab on 15th Street. As he stepped out of his limo, there was a mix of boos and chants for the president. He was joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
“We’re standing right in the middle of D.C., which as you know about, over the last year, was a very unsafe place — over the last 20 years — and now it’s got virtually no crime,” Trump told reporters.
While dining in the restaurant, the president was quick to make a scene. He told diners they “won’t be mugged going home,” and “don’t drink too much.” He also shook hands with patrons.
