Amercians reacted angrily when it was announced that Donald Trump has won presidential elections. Some of them broke TV screens in anger.
Thousands of protesters around the country took to the streets Wednesday to condemn the election of Donald Trump as president.
The demonstrations were mostly peaceful, authorities said.
In Chicago, several thousand people marched through the Loop and gathered outside Trump Tower, chanting “Not my president!”
Chicago resident Michael Burke said he believes the president-elect will “divide the country and stir up hatred.” He added there was a constitutional duty not to accept that.
A similar protest in Manhattan drew about 1,000 people. Outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in midtown, police installed barricades to keep the demonstrators at bay.
Hundreds of protesters gathered near Philadelphia’s City Hall despite chilly, wet weather.
Participants who included both supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who lost to Clinton in the primary expressed anger at both Republicans and Democrats over the election’s outcome.
In Boston, thousands of anti-Donald Trump protesters streamed through downtown, chanting “Trump’s a racist” and carrying signs that said “Impeach Trump” and “Abolish Electoral College.”
