You Won’t Believe What Americans Reacting to Donald Trump!

Thousands of people took to the streets in Washington and many cities across the US to protest Mr. Trump’s policies.

More than 5,000 protesters carrying signs reading “not our president” or “don’t touch our social security” gathered on April 5 at an outdoor stage near the White House in Washington, DC to protest President Donald Trump’s policies.

Jane Ellen Saums, a 66-year-old protester dressed as Mother Nature with ivy wrapped around her and holding a globe, said she was disappointed that the Trump administration was dismantling America’s long-standing democratic institutions.

“It’s disturbing to see what’s happening to our government. All the checks and balances are being removed, from the environment to individual rights,” said Saums, a real estate agent.

Organizers said about 20,000 people were expected to attend the Washington rally. Protests are also planned in all 50 US states, as well as Canada and Mexico.

“They have awakened a sleeping giant. We will not sit down, be silent or walk away,” 71-year-old activist Graylan Hagler told the crowd in Washington.

This is part of the “Hands off” protest organized by a coalition of dozens of left-leaning groups such as MoveOn and Women’s March in more than 1,000 cities, towns and congressional districts in the US.

The overall theme of the protest was to oppose “the most blatant attempt to control power in modern history”, which they accused of being led by Mr Trump, his close adviser Elon Musk and “their billionaire friends”.

The protests came after the Trump administration pushed a campaign to streamline the government, launching tariffs on more than 180 trading partners, causing the stock market to plummet and many Americans to be disgruntled.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on April 3 showed President Trump’s approval rating at 43 percent, down two percentage points from a poll late last month. His approval rating was 47 percent after he took office in January.

Mr. Trump on April 5 called on Americans to “remain steadfast” even though his tariff campaign “will not be easy.” He called it “an economic revolution and we will win, the end result will be historic.”

White House spokeswoman Liz Huston denied protesters’ claims that Mr. Trump is seeking to cut Social Security and Medicare.

“President Trump’s position is clear: he will always protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for eligible beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the Democrats’ position is to give Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to illegal immigrants, a group that will bankrupt those programs and overwhelm America’s seniors.”
