Robin Bell, left, and Sorane Yamahira look at their work projected on the Trump International Hotel, Monday, July 23, 2018, in Washington. In a city with a long tradition of leftist street activism, Bell has become something of a local celebrity. Every few weeks, Bell puts messages of protest on the side of the Trump International Hotel. He’s called President Donald Trump a pig and a racist, used smiling poop emojis, and taunted the president with images of his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
