New York: Thousands of angry Americans took to the streets across the US to protest Donald Trump's win in presidential polls with demonstrators holding vigils, lighting bonfires and blocking traffic while shouting slogans - âNot my President' and âNo Fascists USA'.
People from all ages, faiths and nationalities assembled at landmark locations in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, California, Colorado, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, Atlanta, Austin, Denver, San Francisco and other cities, protesting against Trump, barely a day after the 70-year-old businessman registered a stunning victory in the polls against Hillary Clinton.
The protesters were seen walking on roads and highways between traffic, holding a multitude of placards and expressing their resentment for Trump through slogans such as âNo more Hate' and âTrump is not our President'.
In Washington, protesters gathered outside the White House. A candlelight vigil was also held outside the White House last evening.
In New York, protesters walked about 40 streets from 14th Street to Fifth Avenue, where Trump's campaign headquarters The Trump Towers is located. Streets surrounding the towers were shut off. Thousands of protesters blocked entry to the Trump Tower in downtown Chicago.
Five people were shot and injured in an area near the protest. But the police said the shootings and the demonstration were unrelated.
