Trump gets a load of hot air: Leonardo DiCaprio and thousands of green warriors brave 90F heat to march in DC and across America on the president's 100th day in office

Leonardo DiCaprio joined thousands of climate change protesters in Washington DC in protest of Trump
There were about 300 coinciding protests around the country for the People's Climate March on Saturday
Protesters object to Trump's rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions
Trump, said to be inside the White House at the time of the march, marked his 100th day in office 

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio joined thousands of climate change protesters in Washington DC to mark President Donald Trump's 100th day in office.
Large crowds gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue for the People's Climate March, an event that saw about 300 coinciding protests around the country, according to organizers.
The mercury rose to around 90F in DC, and protesters brought their own water bottles and sunscreen as they warned about the dangers of global warming.
Holding signs that read 'There is no planet B', and 'Make Earth Great Again', the protesters say they're objecting to the president's rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other things


Demonstrators in Washington started their march near the Capitol and slowly made their way to the White House.  
DiCaprio, known for his environmental activism, marched alongside people indigenous to both North and South America while carrying a sign that read: 'Climate change is real'. 
He tweeted on Saturday: 'Honored to join Indigenous leaders and native peoples as they fight for climate justice. Join me in standing with them.
Model Christie Brinkley also joined a march in the Hamptons, where she wore a flower headpiece and held a sign that read: 'Let's make everyday a good air day'.

first 100 Days for Samantha Bee's alternative White House Correspondents' Dinner in DC


Will Ferrell performed for attendees as George W Bush. The comedian had previously portrayed Bush on 'Saturday Night Live'


Ferrell-as-Bush told the crowd he was happy to be known as the 'second' worst president after current-president Donald Trump



The Bush impersonator said: 'I needed eight years, a catastrophic flood, a war built on a lie and an economic disaster. The new guy only needed a hundred days. I come in second, and I’m fine by that'

Chris here : }



Sometimes the best they got is the worst thing for you ,but hay,
It's just like I say when I'm speaking in blunt talk- ya got to do what you you got to do.


Funny thing of it is, Trump needs to be out of Washington for at least two apparent reasons,and Christie is happy to find refuge in Delaware for some reasons. Odd coincidence perhaps !

Perfectly expresses his priorities.

Great crowd in DC. I couldn't make it, but I CAN attest to the heat and humidity here. Kudos to all who marched in DC and around the country!
