Thousands of people marched in the streets of New York City Wednesday night to protest President-elect Donald Trump. In cities from Boston to Los Angeles, the demonstrators chanted anti-Donald Trump slogans, with many yelling "not my president, not today", reports said. In Chicago, roughly 1,000 people attempted to gather outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower downtown while chanting phrases like "No Trump! No KKK! No racist USA". As many as 5,000 people were at a protest in New York, the police estimated. Among the issues were immigration and Obamacare. Some of the protesters cursed out key battleground states that Trump had won to secure victory. They then began marching more than 40 blocks uptown to picket outside Trump Tower in midtown. Protesters condemned Trump's campaign pledge to build a wall along the border with Mexico to keep out undocumented immigrants and other policies perceived as affecting people of colour. In his victory speech, however, Trump said he would be president for all Americans, saying: "It is time for us to come together as one united people.
