Protests against Donald Trump, or anti-Trump protests, have occurred throughout the United States in 2015 and 2016 during the presidential campaign and following Trump's victory.

During his presidential campaign, demonstrators were occasionally led by activists who organized demonstrations inside Trump rallies, sometimes with calls to shut Trump's rallies down,[18][19][20] and fueled by perceived incendiary language[1][2] used by Trump, protesters began attending his rallies displaying signs and disrupting proceedings.[21][22]

Following Trump's presidential election win, students and activists organized larger protests in several major cities throughout the United States, with hundreds of thousands of Americans participating.[23][24] Debates surrounding the United States electoral college system occurred after the election since Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, albeit by a small margin. Detractors of the system stated that popular votes represent the nation as a whole, while conservative supporters of the electoral college state that the system is effective since it prevents candidates from only focusing on large metropolitan areas for votes.[25] Protesters denouncing the electoral college and supporting the popular vote chanted that Trump is "not my president".[26]

Protests and altercations

Some protesters were part of organized groups such as Black Lives Matter.[27][28] They sometimes attempt to enter the venue or engage in activities outside the venue. Interactions with supporters of the candidate may occur before, during, or after the event.[29] Protesters have attempted to rush the stage at Trump's rallies.[30] At times, protests have turned violent and anti-Trump protesters have attacked Trump supporters; this violence has received bipartisan condemnation.[31] MoveOn.org, People for Bernie, the Muslim Students' Association, Assata's Daughters, the Black Student Union, Fearless Undocumented Alliance, and Black Lives Matter are among the organizations who sponsored or promoted the protests at the March 11 Chicago Trump rally.[18][32][33][34]

There have been verbal and physical confrontations between Trump supporters and protesters at Trump's campaign events.[35][36]

Timeline

Protests against Trump primarily began following Trump's announcement of his candidacy, especially after stating that Mexican illegal immigrants were "bringing drugs, bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people".[37][38] The protests proceeded through the rest of 2015 and into 2016.

  • July 10 – While Trump spoke at a Friends of Abe gathering, about 150 protesters gathered with signs and hitting piñatas made in Trump's image. A smaller group of Trump supporters gathered near the protests and caused tension, with one Trump supporter beginning to jab at protesters.[40]

  • July 23 – Trump arrived in Laredo, Texas, and was greeted by protesters while others gathered in support.[42]

August

  • August 11 – About 150 protesters gathered in Birch Run, Michigan outside of a rally at the Birch Run Expo Center, gathered by the Democratic Party of Michigan due to what they called "anti-immigrant, anti-veteran statements" made by Trump.[43]
  • August 25 – During a press conference, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos began to question Trump since before being called on. After being told "Sit down! you weren't called" and "Go back to Univision", Ramos continued to protest Trump's plan to deport illegal immigrants and their children born into citizenship in the U.S. Trump motioned to his security, with Keith Schiller removing Ramos from the event. Trump later met with Ramos alone.[44][45][46]

  • March 11 – During a rally in St. Louis, at which Trump was "repeatedly interrupted by protesters, violence broke out between supporters of Trump and protesters, resulting in 32 arrests."[64][65] A planned event for later that day in Chicago drew confrontations between supporters and protesters in the arena at the University of Illinois at Chicago before Trump could come out to speak, due to an unusually large amount of protesters, and the campaign cancelled the rally due to safety concerns. Trump stated that he made the decision himself, commenting, "I didn't want to see people get hurt [so] I decided to postpone the rally."[66][67][68][69][70]
  • March 12 – Thomas Dimassimo, a 32-year-old man, attempted to rush the stage as Trump was speaking at a rally in Dayton, Ohio. Dimassimo was stopped by Secret Service agents and subsequently charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and inducing panic.[71]
  • March 13 – Trump refused to take responsibility for clashes at his campaign events, criticized protesters who have dogged his rallies, and demanded that police begin to arrest rally protesters.[72] His Kansas City rally was interrupted repeatedly by protesters in the arena while protesters outside the event were pepper sprayed by police.[73][74] In an effort to dissuade future protesters, Trump may begin to request that protesters be arrested "[b]ecause then their lives are going to be ruined."[74]
  • March 17 – During an interview with CNN, Trump predicted "you'd have riots" if were denied the Republican nomination despite having the most delegates at the convention.[75]

Towards the end of the rally, protesters tore down a security tent at a Trump rally in Utah and threw rocks at rally attendees as they left. Two people unsuccessfully attempted to breach the entrance of the venue. Secret Service officers secured the inside of the venue and roughly 40 police officers in riot gear repelled the protesters from entering the building.[76] No arrests were made.[77][78]
  • March 19 – Thousands of anti-Trump protesters in New York chanted "F*ck Trump!" and "Donald Trump! Go away!" as they rallied around the Trump International Tower building near 60th St. and Columbus Circle. The group was followed by dozens of NYPD officers who lined the streets with metal barricades and blocked the protesters path as they tried to cross busy intersections. After violence broke out, police pepper-sprayed the crowd, whom police refused to let cross the street.[79] During a simultaneous protest, protesters blocked a highway leading to Trump's Fountain Hills, Arizona rally, leading to three arrests.[80] During a separate rally in Tucson, Arizona later that night, a black Trump supporter was arrested after punching and stomping a white protester who had donned a Ku Klux Klan hood.[81]

Individuals on both sides shouted and threw trash and the occasional punch, but no injuries or property damage were reported.

Post-election protests

A large protest formed on November 9 spanning several blocks along Manhattan's 5th Avenue, centered on Trump Tower.

Following the announcement of Trump's election, large protests broke out across the United States with some continuing for several days, and more protests planned for the with coming weeks and months.[116][117] International protests against the election of Trump have occurred in the Philippines, Germany, Canada, Belgium, and Australia.[118][119][120][121][122]

Protesters have held up a number of different signs and chanted various shouts including "Not my president" and "We don’t accept the president-elect”.[118][117] The movement organized on Twitter under the hashtags #Anti-trump and #NotMyPresident.[123][124]

Comparisons in size and extent of the protests have been made to the Arab Spring.[125]

November 9

Protests occurred at the following cities:

Protests also occurred at various universities, including:

High school and college students walked out of classes to protest.[138][154] The protests were peaceful for the most part, although at some protests fires were lit, flags were burned, people yelled rude remarks about Trump, and a Trump Pinata was burned.[164][165][166] Celebrities such as Madonna, Cher, and Lady Gaga took part in New York.[167][168][169] Some protesters took to blocking freeways in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon and were dispersed by police in the early hours of the morning.[170][171] In a number of cities protesters were dispersed with rubber bullets, pepper spray and bean-bags fired by police.[172][173][174] While protests ended at 3am in New York calls were made to continue the protests over the coming days.[175]

November 10

Protests occur across the U.S.[177]

As Trump held the first transition meeting with President Obama at the White House, protesters were outside.[178] Protests continued in cities across the United States. International protests were held in London, Vancouver, and Manila.[119][179] Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani called protesters "a bunch of spoiled cry-babies."[180] Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti expressed understanding of the protests and praised those who peacefully wanted to make their voices heard.[181]

In Austin, Texas, a young girl rallied protesters behind the mantra: "I am a female, I am mixed race, I am a child and I cannot vote. But that will not stop me from getting heard" after which chants of "Love is love, and love trumps hate" followed.[182][183][184][185] In Los Angeles, protesters continued blocking freeways.[186] A peaceful protest turned violent when a small group began rioting and attacking police in Portland, Oregon.[187] The protests in Portland attracted over 4,000 people and remained largely peaceful, but took to the highway and blocked traffic.[188] Acts of vandalism including a number of smashed windows, vandalized vehicles, and a dumpster fire caused police to declare a riot.[188][189] Protesters tried to retain the peaceful nature of the protest and chanted "peaceful protest".[190]

Protests were held in the following cities:

There were also continued protests at universities such as:

Numerous petitions were started to prevent Trump from taking office; including a Change.org petition started by Elijah Berg of North Carolina requesting that faithless electors in states that Trump won vote for Clinton instead, which quickly surpassed three million signatures.[218]

Trump's reactions

During the campaign, Trump was accused by some of creating aggressive undertones at his rallies.[258] Trump's Republican rivals blamed him for fostering a climate of violence, and escalating tension during events.[259] Initially, Trump did not condemn the acts of violence that occurred at many of his rallies, and indeed encouraged them in some cases.[59][260]

In November 2015, Trump said of a protester in Birmingham, Alabama, "Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing."[261] In December, the campaign urged attendees not to harm protesters, but rather to alert law enforcement officers of them by holding signs above their head and yelling, "Trump! Trump! Trump!"[262] Trump has been criticized for additional instances of fomenting an atmosphere conducive to violence through many of his comments. For example, Trump told a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that he would pay their legal fees if they engaged a protester.[263]

On February 23, 2016, when a protester was ejected from a rally in Las Vegas, Trump stated, "I love the old days—you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks." He added, "I'd like to punch him in the face."[264][265][266] Following criticism from the media over his language towards protesters, Trump began to backtrack and started encouraging supporters at rallies to not injure any protesters. He also admitted at his San Jose rally that he was wrong to make such inflammatory comments in the past.[267]

After the election, Trump claimed on Twitter that the groups still protesting were professionals "incited by the media", and that the protests were "unfair".[268] Trump later tweeted that he loved the passion the protesters had for America and that "We will all come together and be proud."[269]

Security

Trump flanked by Secret Service agents prior to the election.

From fairly early in the campaign the United States Secret Service assumed primary responsibility for Trump's security. They were augmented by state and local law enforcement as needed. When a venue was rented by the campaign, the rally was a private event and the campaign might grant or deny entry to it with no reason given; the only stipulation was that exclusion solely on the basis of race was forbidden. Those who entered or remained inside such a venue without permission were technically guilty of or liable for trespass.[28] Attendees or the press could be assigned or restricted to particular areas in the venue.[27]

In March 2016, Politico reported that the Trump campaign hired plainclothes private security guards to preemptively remove potential protesters from rallies.[270] That same month, a group calling itself the "Lion Guard" was formed to offer "additional security" at Trump rallies. The group was quickly condemned by mainstream political activists as a paramilitary fringe organization.[271]

After becoming President-elect security around Trump and his family became noticeably more stringent. Sources reported that there were concerns about the ability to secure Trump's Manhattan residence due to its location and the large number of people who live there as well as the number of people coming and going. Restrictions on private and commercial air traffic were reportedly imposed on airspace over Manhattan and other parts of the city during periods when Trump is in the city.[272][273]

Threats

Threatening the safety of the President of the United States, the Vice-President, President-Elect or any person under the protection of the Secret Service including presidential candidates is a criminal offense under Title 18 of the US Code.[274] Prominent public officials do however receive threats and these are routinely investigated by the Secret Service who carefully consider the nature of the threat and how serious it is. Many "threats" are uttered or written in the heat of the moment and do not always result in prosecution. During the campaign and subsequent to his election, it has been reported that Donald Trump has received a number of threats against his life.[275][276][277][278][279][280][281][282]
