The following day was uplifting though, as half-a-million women marched in protest on Washington, some holding banners that said “Keep Your Filthy Paws Off My Silky Drawers”, “Make My Pussy Safe Again”, “We Shall Overcomb” and the ingenious: “SUPER CALLOUS FRAGILE RACIST SEXIST LYING POTUS”.
Scouse women of all ages turned out to show their contempt for Trump, just as they did against the far-right during last summer’s riots when one woman in her 70s stood defiantly outside a Liverpool mosque with the banner “Nans Against Nazis”.
'If Elon Musk’s Scouse Nan were still alive she’d send him this long post on X' Eight years ago this month I was in Washington covering Donald Trump’s first presidential inauguration.
A foretaste of the divisive horror that would explode on Capitol Hill four years later when a beaten Trump refused to accept defeat.
It was an ugly day played out against a soundtrack of smashed windows and wailing sirens as 217 protesters were arrested for rioting and six police officers were injured.
