Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the United States to protest against Donald Trump's victory in the presidential polls, slamming him for his bigotry and racism, as they demonstrated against his electoral pronouncements on immigration and Muslims.

The president-elect reacted today tweeting a couple of hours ago, ‏@realDonaldTrump Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!

People following @realDonaldTrump tweeted: Lauren Duca ‏@laurenduca @realDonaldTrump Protesting is a constitutional right. Also, now that you are President-elect, your lies are government propaganda.


Rachel Vorona Cote ‏@RVoronaCote  reacted to the tweet @laurenduca He got exactly what he wanted & still he's pitying himself not to mention responding to protest like a dictator. Lord love us.


Phil K James ‏@PhilKJames  This actually makes me want to find a protest in my area. Before this I didn't care.

People from all ages, faiths and nationalities assembled at landmark locations in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, California, Colorado, Seattle and other cities protesting against Trump, barely a day after he registered a stunning presidential victory against Hillary Clinton. The protesters held a multitude of placards expressing their resentment for Trump through slogans such as 'No more Hate' and 'Not our President'.


Fears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump's presidential win.

Racist, pro-Trump graffiti painted inside a high school. A hijab-wearing college student robbed by men talking about Trump and Muslims.
While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia and Islamophobia, some of his supporters have used his words as justification to carry out hateful acts.
