During a speech President Donald Trump delivered Monday in New York as part of a Veterans Day celebration, he was met with calls for him to be impeached, prosecuted, and put in prison.
Even though Trump gave his speech behind bulletproof glass, protesters repeatedly chanted “lock him up” and “impeach and remove” as he made his remarks.
Here are several reports, along with videos of the event:

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone. Trump is easily the most polarizing figure in American political history and polls lower than any president since polling began.
Next time, maybe Trump should just stick to tweeting out some tepid praise on Veterans Day and then take it easy for the rest of the holiday so he doesn’t aggravate his bone spurs.
