      Well, right-wing protests tend to involve guns and not self-immolation, and it’s not likely for anyone not-right wing to protest Trump finally facing some consequences for his crime, so a statement on the middle east seemed most probable to me.

        Oh I know, I just mean why would someone assume Palestine is the issue when it’s outside of Trump’s trial? Hardly a key Trump issue. I assumed it was a protest in support of Trump until I saw your comment on this post

          Yeah, of all the things to set yourself on fire over “NYU is a front for the mob” is not the first thing I’d think of…

          Looks like it was mostly unrelated to Trump, he likely chose to do it outside the courthouse because there were more people and news cameras paying attention there.
