Day’s protesters: ‘Not My President’

Thousands of demonstrators turned out Monday in several U.S. cities to challenge Donald Trump in a Washington’s Birthday protest dubbed Not My President’s Day.

Thousands of flag-waving protesters lined up outside Central Park in Manhattan. Many in the crowd chanted “No ban, no wall. The Trump regime has got to fall.” They held aloft signs saying “Uphold the Constitution Now” and “Impeach the Liar.”

Other protesters turned out in Chicago, across the river from the Trump Tower; in Washington, D.C., dozens gathered around the fountain in Dupont Circle; and dozens marched through midtown Atlanta for a rally named with a Georgia flavor: “ImPEACH NOW! (Not My) President’s Day March.” Other protests were held in Salt Lake City, Rapid City, S.D., and Portland, Ore., where a small but unruly group of protesters faced off with police downtown, with police taking several into custody.

In Rapid City, both opponents and supporters turned out. A larger anti-Trump faction stood on a street corner as part of a “Not My President” protest, similar to the other demonstrations being held across the country. A group supporting the president lined up on a different corner at the same intersection.
