Refuse

I saw a leaflet for a protest taking place in Los Angeles today, on Veteran's Day. The object of protest, as you've already guessed, is our President.

The group is RefuseFascism.org.  And while that gives me some idea what they stand for, it's not clear what they expect.  Let me quote from their literature:

Join us in the streets and public squares holding a movement of continuing protests [...]

A movement determined to not stop until our demand is met:

THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END:

THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!

Okay, they want our Prez and Veep out.  I suggest they wait till 2020 and vote them out.  Until then, they can vote in representatives who oppose the administration or write their representatives and tell them to oppose the administration.

Aside from that, what do they honestly expect?  Even if a protest moves anyone (and I don't think these protests will--at least not in the direction they're hoping), Trump is President and Pence is Vice President, no matter how much they protest.

Let me quote some more.

...it is our responsibility to drive them from power through non-violent protest that grow every day until our demand is met.

So they're going to keep protesting until Trump says he's had enough and leaves?  Good luck.
