Milwaukee, WI - More than 95,000 people attended the three-day Mexican Fiesta 2018 over the weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and some of them took the liberty to express their discontent with Trump and his policies including the separation of families by wearing t-shirts at the festival that actually said it all. One person, who is a Marine veteran wore a t-shirt and posted on his Facebook account that stated, "Fuck Trump" another man wearing a t-shirt, who apparently is a Navy veteran was photographed by a festivalgoer who also posted it on his Facebook account that shows the veteran wearing a t-shirt with a photo of Trump and said, "El Pendejo," which translates "Stupid." The illustration mimics the Mexican lotería game, which depicts images of persons, things, items and etc.

Mexican Fiesta is considered the largest Mexican music and a family cultural tradition venue event in the Midwest.
The Summerfest grounds operated by Milwaukee World Festival Inc. is considered a public forum where free speech and freedom of expression is still prevelent.
Case precedent, Satélite v. Mexican Fiesta (WHSF), in June 1992, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge William D. Gardner ruled that the Summerfest grounds are a "public forum" where there is a First Amendment right to freedom of expression,  even when the grounds are occupied by an ethnic festival.
Gardner said, "City government created the grounds to be a place where the public could gather and experience the ethnic and cultural diversity of the community."
Also under Cohen v. California (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a conviction of a man wearing a jacket saying "Fuck the Draft", which he was cited for disturbing the peace and the four letter word was considered free speech.
The First Amendment, as applied through the Fourteenth, prohibits states from making the public display of a single four-letter expletive a criminal offense, without a more specific and compelling reason than a general tendency to disturb the peace. Court of Appeal of California reversed.
