Donald Trump may have a point about paid protesters: Job ads running in more than 20 cities offer a retainer and good pay for agitators to demonstrate at this week’s presidential inauguration events.

The Washington Times reports Demand Protest, a San Francisco-based company, posted identical ads in multiple cities on Backpage.com seeking “operatives” to, “Get paid fighting against Trump!”

Their website promises clients that it “can ensure that all actions will appear genuine to media and public observers.”

More than 100 left-wing groups, led by organizations such as Occupy Inauguration and the DisruptJ20 coalition, are calling for protests and demonstrations to disrupt Friday’s inauguration and other events surrounding it.
