A protester set himself on fire outside Trump International Hotel in Washington DC on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old man, who has not yet been identified, said the act was in protest of the President-elect’s looming inauguration.
Witnesses described how he yelled ‘Trump’ several times as ‘flames ran up his back’ before lying down in the street.
A Washington DC Police source told DailyMail.com he was not arrested.

Was he paid to do that? Probably so!
Advertisements on Backpage have surfaced appearing to offer $2,500 to people willing to protest Trump’s Inauguration.
The offer appears to be from a group called Demand Protest, they say they are looking for people that want to protest in exchange for cash.
The ad headline reads ‘Get paid fighting against Trump’ and says they’re looking for Inauguration protesters.
SHARE IF YOU WANT HIM ARRESTED!
