Donald Trump school visit sparks protests in Cobb County, Georgia

President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Wheeler High School in Marietta, Cobb County, on a Wednesday at 2 p.m. to promote his “Trump Accounts” initiative, which aims to set up stock‑market investment accounts for children. The planned event has drawn organized opposition from the Cobb County Democratic Committee, local activist groups such as Indivisible Cobb, and other community members who argue that public funds are being used for a partisan political spectacle. Organizers plan a peaceful demonstration outside the school and have called on district officials to cancel the visit.

School officials have not disclosed security or traffic‑control plans for the event. Critics, including Cobb County Democratic Committee chair Essence Johnson, have condemned the school board’s decision, labeling the visit a “partisan farce.” The controversy unfolds as Trump’s broader campaign activities continue to generate national attention.
