Dozens of kids clustered poolside, some dangling their feet in the water and others hanging back, still seemed nervous on the second day of the water safety camp at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

Robin Bell, left, and Sorane Yamahira look at their work projected on the Trump International Hotel, Monday, July 23, 2018, in Washington. In a city with a long tradition of leftist street activism, Bell has become something of a local celebrity. Every few weeks, Bell puts messages of protest on the side of the Trump International Hotel. He鈥檚 called President Donald Trump a pig and a racist, used smiling poop emojis, and taunted the president with images of his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
