EXAMPLES OF "MOVE TRUMP GET OUT THE WAY" CHANTS

Example #1:
From http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Hundreds-of-San-Francisco-Students-March-to-Protest-Donald-Trump-in-Citywide-Student-Walkout-400724901.html [with embedded video] November 10, 2016
"More than a thousand students took to the streets of San Francisco Thursday to take part in a citywide student walkout to protest President-elect Donald Trump, marking a second day of anti-Trump protests in the Bay Area, joining thousands across the nation expressing their disappointment and anger at the election results.

Students from at least 10 San Francisco Unified School District schools started their march in front of the city's iconic City Hall building and made their way on Market Street, ending on the Embarcadero, near Fisherman's Wharf, chanting, "Move Trump, get out the way," and "Not my future, not my president," a call that has taken over the country....

Similar protests were held by school students in Oakland, San Jose, Concord, Napa and other cities across the Bay Area.

Thursday’s protest came after two different #NotMyPresident marches took place in San Francisco Wednesday, both peaceful, and the second one involving women, LGBTQ and immigrant groups who marched from the Civic Center to the Castro and held a candlelight vigil, before ending in the Mission District."...

One of the tweets on that page (Afreen ‏@afreen_nh, January 29, 2017) is of protesters chanting a clip of Ludacris' 2002 Hip Hop song "Move B&tch":
"And of course, only in the Bay Area can you find twists on iconic hip hop songs 😂 "MOVE TRUMP GET OUT THE WAY" #SFO #NoBanNoWall #MuslimBanshowed
