Playing Food Fight: Protesters Stage 'Cough-In' at Jean-Georges Restaurant in Trump Protest

A sudden coughing fit erupted inside a swanky restaurant at Trump Tower with nearly all patrons seemingly hacking up a lung at the same time Monday afternoon.

In the world renowned Jean-Georges, located inside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York City, the people engaged in the coughing fits were activists protesting the Donald Trump's desire to repeal Obamacare.

The protesters then shouted: “We need Obamacare! Trump care makes us sick!”

Hotels are expected to be flashpoints during President-elect Trump's inauguration Friday, which is shaping up to be a security nightmare.

At the Hyatt Place Hotel, located within blocks of the parade route, Hillary Clinton supporters, Trump enthusiasts and protesters will all be comingling, and the hotel is doing everything it can to keep the peace.

"We'll have the National Guard right out front of the hotel 24/7," hotel manager Stacy Smith told Inside Edition. "We will have plain clothes off duty police officers who will be helping us out with security efforts as well."

She added: “Someone will always be around.”

Hotels were also the scene of violence during the campaign, punctuated with scenes of complete chaos.

A million visitors are expected in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration and authorities are pouring much effort into thwarting any terror truck attack like those in France last summer and Germany over Christmas.

Huge sanitation vehicles filled with sand, like the ones used to protect Trump Tower and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, will cordon off streets in D.C.

With the whole world watching, violence and chaos are what authorities are hoping to avoid.

In response to those Tweets/comments (and for that matter, ANYONE who's blinded by partisanship and unable to see what is going on)... this was a protest. Our country was founded on protest. I suppose the oppressive King George said similar things after the Boston Tea Party. Luckily, we don't live under a dictator (yet.) Trump wanted to be the leader of a free democracy??? Well, this is it! I'm sure it helps his followers sleep better at night when they're able to label people "extremist" or "left-wing liberal", but the overwhelming truth is that the majority of us where normal everyday citizens... until our nation was absconded by an inexperienced lying sociopath and his band of inept crooks and cronies. To think that a minority-vote election "win", won via rhetoric, propaganda, and outright lies, suddenly legitimizes this "man"... is laughable. I'm NOT against Republicans... I'm against Donald Trump. And I'm against his inept appointees who were selected to undermine and pervert the very offices which they are charged with serving. I'm against any leader who exhibits an inability to simply grasp reality. Donald Trump is a 'clear and present danger' to America, to it's democracy, and to our national security. We are a weaker nation with this man in office and it is only a matter of time before our enemies exploit this. God save us all.

So f*cking stupid!!!These are suppose to be educated people!?!?If people were true Americans and loved this country and cared about their families they'd ban together and make it a better place for generations to come!!!

So many examples of Democrats acting badly.  It is like watching spoiled children throwing a tantrum.  They incite violence and attack fellow Americans as if they are the only ones that matter. Shameful.

Rosie O'Donnell, the arch enemy of Donald J. Trump, tried to cough out his desire to repeal Obamacare! But he tweeted that she's a big fat slob who deserves to be banned from TV for life! #LOL
