It’s the first day of May, and what do you know? Deranged leftists are at it again — protesting outside the White House.
The crowd of raging liberals was gathered as part of the international “May Day” protests when President Trump flew right over their heads in Marine One!
They were so triggered that many of them started shouting, and several were spotted flipping the bird at the helicopter.
Watch the moment here:
🚨 LMFAO! President Trump just brutally MOGGED the anti-ICE May Day protestors in DC by BUZZING THEM in Marine One
The pass was so low that it totally drowned out their microphones.
Which resulted in them SCREAMING and flipping off the sky 🤣

It’s unclear whether this timing was intentional or not.
But, either way, you’ve got to admit, President Trump is the undisputed king of trolling!
Take a look at some of these responses from folks on X:
It’s almost as if you can hear him laughing as he did this 😂

The protests outside the White House were part of protests for “May Day.”
If you don’t know what May Day is, it’s basically a radical leftist version of Labor Day that has been heavily promoted by communists.
Grok provided some additional background:
Labor May Day (also called International Workers’ Day or simply May Day in the labor context) is a global holiday observed on May 1 that celebrates workers, the labor movement, and the fight for better working conditions.
Origins and History
It traces directly back to the United States in the 1880s:
- In 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (later the American Federation of Labor) set May 1, 1886, as the target date for a nationwide push to establish an eight-hour workday (at the time, 10–16+ hour days were common in factories).
- On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of workers (estimates range from 300,000–500,000) across the U.S. went on strike or demonstrated, with particularly large actions in Chicago.
- Tensions escalated. On May 3, police clashed with strikers at the McCormick Reaper plant in Chicago, killing at least two workers.
- On May 4, a protest rally was held in Haymarket Square in Chicago. It was mostly peaceful until police moved in to disperse the crowd. Someone (identity never definitively established) threw a bomb that killed one officer instantly. Police opened fire, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides (roughly 7–8 police and at least 4 civilians killed overall).
In the aftermath, eight anarchist and labor activists were arrested and tried in a highly controversial trial widely viewed as unfair (convictions were based more on their radical speeches and writings than direct evidence of the bombing). Four were hanged in 1887 (the “Haymarket Martyrs”), one died by suicide in prison, and the rest were later pardoned.
In 1889, the Second International (an organization of socialist and labor groups) officially designated May 1 as International Workers’ Day to commemorate the 1886 strikes and the Haymarket affair, and to push for the eight-hour day globally. The first coordinated international observances happened in 1890.Labor May Day vs. U.S. Labor Day
- May 1 (International Workers’ Day / Labor May Day): Focuses on international worker solidarity, historic struggles, and often includes rallies, marches, speeches, and calls for rights or reforms. It has stronger political and left-wing associations.
- U.S./Canada Labor Day (first Monday in September): Established as a federal holiday in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland, partly to recognize workers but also to distance the official U.S. holiday from the more radical/Haymarket-linked May 1 events and socialist elements. It’s generally more of a relaxed “end of summer” holiday with parades, barbecues, and family gatherings.
The U.S. does not observe May 1 as an official federal holiday. During the Cold War, it was sometimes countered with “Loyalty Day” or “Law Day” proclamations.
In America, May Day eventually expanded to include protesting immigration policies, as well as labor rights.
AP explained further:
In the United States, where May Day is not a federal holiday, May Day Strong, a coalition of activist groups and labor unions, called on people to protest under the banner of “workers over billionaires.”
Voicing strong opposition to Trump’s policies, organizers listed thousands of May Day actions across the country and called for an economic blackout through “no school, no work, no shopping.”
Demands include taxing the rich and putting an end to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
While labor and immigrant rights are historically intertwined, the focus of May Day rallies in the U.S. shifted to immigration in 2006. That’s when roughly 1 million people, including nearly half a million in Chicago alone, took to the streets to protest federal legislation that would have made living in the U.S. without legal permission a felony.
This year, leftists are holding rallies across the United States, protesting everything from ICE to billionaires.
Fox News wasn’t afraid to call the protests out for what they truly are — a celebration of communism:
🚨 FOX NEWS DROPS STRAIGHT FACTS ON MAY DAY
“In communist countries around the world, it’s May Day”
Leftists in full meltdown over basic history. May Day has deep Marxist roots, the radical left’s favorite commie holiday.

In some states, classes have even been canceled for students so that they can attend these commie protests…
In North Carolina, over 20 school districts have called off school for the day.
And, in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged kids to skip school to join the protests.
Here’s some additional coverage on that:
