Trump on defense: White House trip canceled due to fear of protests

The decision by the White House and Harley-Davidson to cancel President Trump’s trip to Milwaukee for a factory visit on Thursday rather than face protesters is sure to have repercussions for the already energized activists opposing Mr. Trump’s presidency.

Harley-Davidson was worried about the protests likely to greet Mr. Trump and the possible harm to its popularity, just as Peyton Manning was last week when he dashed out the back door of a Republican retreat in Philadelphia rather than risk the cameras.

Americans are rising up to protest Trump in blue states and red states — and it is having an impact.

Resistance works, and it will keep working so long as the people, as Rep. John Lewis would say, “keep the faith.”
