A solitary sign bearer channels Caesar, mentions Trump
If you were in Downtown Fremont Friday you may have noticed a person carrying a two sided sign down Main Street in front of the city offices. On one side read "Beware the Ides of March", a reference to the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar. In Act I, Scene II of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare introduces a soothsayer to offer a stark warning to Caesar: “Beware the ides of March.” Caesar gives the advice little notice but two acts later he is assassinated on March 15th, the Ides of March. Historically, Caesar was in the midst of a series of political and social reforms when some 60 conspirators led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, fatally stabbed Caesar at the senate in an attempt to halt Caesar’s monarchical regime. This occurred on March 15th... the Ides of March. The other side of his sign read “Ave Trump Morituri Te Maleicunt” which translates to “Hail Trump. Those who are about to die will curse you.” We have no knowledge as to the identity of the sign bearer.
