https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/10/how-protesters-got-into-the-dc-restaurant-where-trump-dined/Olivia DiNucci was at a protest outside the UK embassy, showing solidarity with the pro-Palestinian demonstrators arrested in London last weekend, when a friend of a friend told her to call ASAP.
When I hear that, I know right away that someone is somewhere, and they need to be disrupted, says DiNucci, an organizer with Code Pink, which describes itself as a feminist grassroots organization working to end US wars and militarism. Shes previously confronted other politicians, including Joe Biden, at restaurants and other public venues.
This time, rumor had it that Donald Trump was going to be dining at Joes Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab next to the White House later that evening. It would be his first visit to a DC restaurant as president this term.
DiNucci immediately reached out to a group of fellow activists and made a last-minute reservation at Joes. She biked home to drop off her megaphone from the embassy protest and change clothes, then biked to the restaurant where she met three others. They arrived about an hour before Trump.

How beautiful that she biked. I'd bet Joe's is a favorite for lobbyists' expense accounts.

i.e. not how they appear in IQ47's fever dreams, and Faux Nooz fantasyland.
