Thousands of protestors across the US rallied once again on Saturday (local time), voicing strong opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies. Nearly a fortnight after the first wave of demonstrations, protesters returned to the streets to express frustration over Trump’s policies, including the imposition and threats of tariffs, The New York Times reported. However, the turnout in cities like New York, Washington, and Chicago appeared smaller than the protests held on April 5.
According to an organiser quoted by The New York Times, More than 700 events were planned nationwide, from Jacksonville (Florida) to Los Angeles. Participants accused the president of trampling on civil liberties and the rule of law, citing concerns over immigration, federal job cuts, economic policies, and other issues. The protestors also gathered outside the White House, repeatedly chanting “shame!” to voice their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration.
