An artist staged a colorful protest outside the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., Monday night, projecting a series of slides that included the emoluments clause to the U.S. Constitution and phrases like “Pay Trump bribes here.”
D.C.-based multimedia artist Robin Bell began projecting messages around 9:15 p.m. from a van parked across Pennsylvania Avenue from the hotel’s entrance, just blocks from the White House, the New York Daily News reported.
The slides included “Emoluments Welcome – Open 24 Hours” — a reference to the Constitutional prohibition on federal officials accepting payments from foreign states — as well as the decidedly less subtle: “Experts Agree: Trump Is a Pig.”
