The man who has courted controversy as diverse in range as any one politician has done before sparked the biggest protest in US history.

He’s just a young guy, reciting some Bieber lyrics, OK…? Among all the puns were plenty of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Mean Girls and Game of Thrones related signs.
