The very next day, Trump was uncharacteristically unTrump when he tweeted “Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don’t always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views.”

*Crowd estimates vary, one local website reports over 100,000 – but if BART estimates 361,000 riders, this may indicate a much higher attendance. BART’s estimate for Saturday exceeds the ridership numbers for Oct 6, 2012 – the SF Giants World Series (319,484) but falls slightly below the busiest Saturday ever recorded on Feb 6, 2016 (419,162).
