A phase of large-scale demonstrations has begun in America against the policies of Donald Trump. Trump is facing such a large protest after the Women's March in 2017 and Black Lives Matter in 2020. American citizens are angry with the way Trump is running the country. Large crowds of people on Saturday registered their protest peacefully at more than 1200 places in 50 states of America.
More than 150 groups participated
More than 150 groups of civil rights organizations, labor unions, LGBTQ+ advocates and election workers took part in the demonstration. Thousands of protesters in hundreds of cities across America from Midtown Manhattan to Anchorage, Alaska protested against Trump and Elon Musk's policies on layoffs, economy, immigration and human rights. The 'Hands Off' rally of common people has increased the difficulties of the Trump administration.
Why did people come out to protest?
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, marching from Pershing Square to City Hall and shouting slogans against the government. Since Donald Trump came to power, the government efficiency department led by Elon Musk in the US has been engaged in layoffs. People are expressing their anger against layoffs, closing regional offices of the Social Security Administration, deporting immigrants, protection of transgenders and reduction in funds for health programs.
What did the White House say in its statement?
On the protests, the White House said that President Trump's position is clear. He has always been in favor of providing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to eligible beneficiaries. The Democrats' stance is to provide Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare benefits to illegal foreigners. This will bankrupt these programs and the senior citizens of America will have to bear the brunt of it.
Trump is happy to play golf
A protester Broom said that Donald Trump is breaking America. On the other hand, a large number of people also protested at Palm Beach in Florida. Trump's luxurious house and golf course are near this beach. On the other hand, Donald Trump is busy playing golf amidst widespread protests. The White House said in its statement that Trump played golf on Saturday. He has similar plans on Sunday as well.
