More than 300 people turned out in an empty Columbus Arena District Monday to protest what they see as the depredations of the Trump administration. It was Labor Day, and organizers and protesters both played up the fact that the administration’s biggest achievement so far is to take more than $1 trillion out of Medicaid and food assistance, while giving a $1 trillion tax break to the richest 1% of Americans. “They blame immigrants so you won’t blame billionaires,” one sign said in a reference to President Trump’s mass deportations.
