Whilst dining at a popular Washington D.C. seafood restaurant last night (9 Sept), Donald Trump was savagely rebuked by a group of protestors who publicly likened him to Adolph Hitler.
Joined by his right-hand man JD Vance, as well as Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth and a number of other government officials, the 79-year-old rocked up to Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab for a bite to eat.
The branch of the franchise in question resides less than quarter of a mile from the White House.
Upon the right-wing group's arrival, Trump spoke briefly to reporters standing outside, a number of whom questioned his controversial decision to deploy the National Guard into the capital in replacement of its police force, to tackle an alleged 'crime emergency'.

"We'll be announcing another city that we're going to very shortly," he claimed of his plan going forward. "We're working it out."
Of D.C., Trump added: "This was one of the most unsafe cities in the country. Now, it's as safe as there is in the country, so we're here with cabinet ministers having dinner, and everybody should go out."
The Guardian say he continued: "We’re standing right in the middle of DC, which as you know about, over the last year, was a very unsafe place – over the last 20 years – and now it’s got virtually no crime."
Seconds later, however, the group were faced with a horde of protestors, a number of whom chanted 'free Palestine' in response to Trump's reluctance to condemn Israel's ongoing genocide attempt in Gaza.
Things only worsened for the group once they made their way into the establishment.
Several individuals already situated inside the restaurant began issuing chants of their own in response to Trump's arrival, a number of whom also held Palestine flags.
In footage that has gone viral online, one woman specifically takes the lead, yelling: "Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time."
Another lady is seen clapping the protestors in the background, garnering the praise of viewers online.
"Always women standing up, thank goodness for them," one responded to Courier Newsroom's coverage of the event.
A second went on: "Love the lady standing at her table clapping."
"The women of America showing up every single day," a third gushed.
In the clip, Trump then gestures for the protestors to leave the hospitality venue, telling them: "Come on, let's go."
It has since emerged that the individuals in question formed part of the left-leaning activist group Code Pink, after representatives of the movement simultaneously shared an anti-Trump statement on X (formerly Twitter).
"They feast while Gaza starves. Trump is the Hitler of our time," the post read. "Free DC. Free Palestine! Stop terrorising communities all over the world!!"
