Protests have been a notable feature of the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Led by activists who organized demonstrations inside Trump rallies, sometimes with calls to shut Trump down,[25][26][27] and fueled by perceived incendiary language[1][2] used by Trump, protesters began attending his rallies displaying signs and disrupting proceedings.[28][29]

On March 11, 2016, a protest in Chicago resulted in the cancellation of the event being held there after hundreds of protesters entered the arena.[30] Violence escalated in March and April 2016, when riots broke out at anti-Trump protests in Costa Mesa, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico as police were assaulted and dozens were arrested while numerous cases of injury and property damage were reported.

Protests and altercations[edit]

Some protesters were part of organized groups such as Black Lives Matter.[31][32] 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.[33] Protesters have attempted to rush the stage at Trump's rallies.[34] At times, protests have turned violent and anti-Trump protesters have attacked Trump supporters, this violence has received bipartisan condemnation.[35]

Planning[edit]

MoveOn.org, People for Bernie, the Muslim Student 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.[25][36][37][38]

There have been verbal and physical confrontations between Trump supporters and protesters at Trump's campaign events.[39][40]

Language used by Trump[edit]

Trump was criticized by some of creating aggressive undertones at his rallies.[41] Trump's Republican rivals have blamed Trump for fostering a climate of violence and escalating tension at campaign events.[42] Initially, Trump did not condemn the acts of violence that occurred at many of his rallies, and encouraged it in some cases.[43][44]

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."[45] 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!".[46] 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.[47]

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."[48][49][50]

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.[51]

Timeline[edit]

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".[52][53] The protests proceeded through the rest of 2015 and into 2016.

  • 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."[84][85] 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."[86][87][88][89]
  • 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.[90]
  • 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.[91] His Kansas City rally was interrupted repeatedly by protesters in the arena while protesters outside the event were pepper sprayed by police.[92][93] 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."[93]

Police officers formed a human barricade to separate the two groups, who largely remained nonviolent. 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.[95] No arrests were made.[96][97]
  • 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.[98] During a simultaneous protest, protesters blocked a highway leading to Trump's Fountain Hills, Arizona rally, leading to three arrests.[99] 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 KKK hood.[100]

According to authorities, "a small number of arrests" were made.[109]
  • May 24 – Following a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, protestors began throwing rocks and bottles at police and police horses, smashed a glass door at the convention center, and burnt a number of Trump signs and flags, filling the street with smoke.[110][111] Video footage of the incident also showed protestors jumping on top of several police cars.[112]
  • May 25 – Anti-Trump protesters were arrested after clashing with Trump supporters in Anaheim.[113]

Protesters waved Mexican flags and signs supporting Bernie Sanders.[114] Some protesters were arrested when they attempted to push past railings separating them from the Convention Center where Trump was speaking.[115] The clashes, largely verbal and resulting in no injuries or property damage, began after the Trump rally ended and his supporters poured into the street. Individuals on both sides shouted and threw trash and the occasional punch, but no injuries or property damage were reported. Police then declared the protest an illegal assembly and ordered the crowd to disperse. Further arrests were made when some members of the crowd failed to disperse. A total of 35 people were arrested in that protest.[114][115][116]

  • August 19 – Protestors harassed, pushed and spit on Trump supporters outside a fundraising event in Minneapolis.[126]

Security[edit]

Three types of security forces are generally present at Trump campaign events: United States Secret Service agents responsible for Trump's safety; local, or state, law enforcement officers responsible for the safety of everyone present; and private security details hired by Trump or by the venue. When a venue is rented by the campaign, the rally is a private event and the campaign may grant or deny entry to it with no reason given; the only stipulation is that exclusion solely on the basis of race is forbidden. Those who enter or remain inside such a venue without permission are technically guilty of or liable for trespass.[32] Attendees or the press can be assigned or restricted to particular areas in the venue.[31]

In March 2016, Politico reported that the Trump campaign hired plainclothes private security guards to preemptively remove potential protesters from rallies.[127]
