Trump's Shocking Move: Dismantling 40-Year Landmark Outside the White House Sparks Outrage After This Reporter’s Remark

A longstanding peace vigil located opposite the White House has been dismantled at the request of President Donald Trump, following remarks from a reporter who deemed it anti-Trump. Established over four decades ago, the White House Peace Vigil called for nuclear disarmament and an end to global conflict, earning recognition as the longest anti-war protest in U.S. history.During an Oval Office meeting on September 5, Brian Glenn of Real America’s Voice highlighted the vigil's perceived transition into an anti-American display, calling it an “eyesore” that posed health and national security risks. Trump's reaction was immediate; he instructed his staff to dismantle it.Two days later, federal agents removed the setup while a 24-year-old volunteer, William Roosien, was briefly handcuffed. Longtime volunteer Philipos Melaku-Bello indicated the vigil was misrepresented and maintained its advocacy for free speech, noting no presence of weapons or health hazards. Legal actions for potential civil rights violations are being considered. (Photo: Wikipedia Commons)
