Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across major U.S. cities and some European capitals on Saturday to rally against President Donald Trump’s policies. This marked the largest wave of demonstrations since his return to the White House.
Opposition centered around Trump’s actions on immigration, trade tariffs, civil liberties, education, and government downsizing. Major protests occurred in cities like Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles, and Denver, with participants expressing concern over what they see as authoritarian and economically damaging policies.
In Washington, protestors gathered at the National Mall to hear speakers, including Rep. Jamie Raskin and activist Graylan Hagler, who criticized Trump’s leadership and warned of growing resistance. Critics labeled Trump’s approach as “economic lunacy” and accused him of fostering “fascism” and creating a “constitutional crisis.”
The protests were organized by groups like MoveOn and the Women’s March, with events held in over 1,000 cities. Internationally, demonstrations in cities like London and Berlin echoed similar concerns. Recent polls show Trump’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest level since taking office.
