President Donald Trump will no longer make surprise appearances for the immediate future following an incident last month where the president was disrupted during his outing to a restaurant in Washington, D.C., with the incident continuing to “haunt” his team, Axios reported Friday.

Code Pink, an anti-war advocacy organization founded in 2002, managed to confront Trump during his visit to Joe’s on Sept. 9, with video of the incident showing protesters chanting “Trump is the Hitler of our time,” and “free Palestine” before being escorted out by Secret Service agents. That the protesters managed to get so close to Trump, Axios learned, “infuriated” the president.
“Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles were infuriated by the incident,” wrote Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt, who spoke with people familiar with Trump’s thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“White House officials were particularly alarmed that knives on the restaurant's tables were near the protesters… Trump aides say that for now, they have quashed any plans for Trump to do any ‘OTRs’ – the internal code used to describe events that aren't pre-announced to the public.”

Isenstadt also learned that Trump aides were suspicious that Code Pink demonstrators had managed to learn of Trump’s visit to Joe’s fearing they may have been tipped off by either a restaurant worker or someone with knowledge of the surprise visit.

The Secret Service defended their security measures in a statement to Axios, telling the outlet that the Code Pink demonstrators themselves had all been screened by agents ahead of Trump’s arrival.

“All restaurant guests were screened prior to the president's arrival, including the protesters who had made a reservation to gain access,” a Secret Service spokesperson told Axios.

"The situation inside the restaurant was quickly resolved by Secret Service personnel who were actively engaged in ensuring the president's safety, and the dinner continued without further incident.”
