Protester Sets Himself On Fire At Donald Trump's Washington D.C. Hotel

A protester set himself on fire outside Trump International Hotel in Washington DC on Tuesday

The man, who has not yet been identified, said the act was in protest of the President-elect's looming inauguration.

Witnesses described how he yelled 'Trump' several times as 'flames ran up his back' before lying down in the street.

He suffered non-life-threatening burns and was taken to hospital shortly after the incident at around 9.30pm.

A Washington DC Policeman revealed that the protester was not arrested.
