 Trump's inauguration to shatter Washington norms

The city's hotels, restaurants and event spaces will be packed with a potent mix of Trump’s supporters and protesters.

Donald Trump’s inauguration is shaping up to be booming business for Washington. It’s just not the type of business the president-elect may want.

Protesters distraught over Trump’s victory will be flooding into Washington next weekend, creating a potent – and potentially tense – mix as they collide with the billionaire’s die-hard supporters at hotels, restaurants, and on the National Mall. Like much of Trump's campaign, the festivities and crowd descending on Washington for the inauguration will not neatly fit into Washington's norms.

"These are unprecedented numbers," said Mike Litterst, a spokesman for the National Park Service, said about the protests. "We're trying to help the groups find suitable alternate locations."

Next week, at least for a few days, the number of Republicans in Washington, DC will triple.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Until a few days ago I thought it would be nothing but not sure now from what I have been reading. Hundred's of liberal groups are mobilizing.

The hate for Trump is strong with this crowd.

No, I don't.  For one thing it's cold and icky out there and snowflakes don't do well in the cold.
