Cher and Madonna were among thousands of furious
protesters stomping toward Trump Tower in New York City tonight to protest
Donald Trump's shock election as president. Cher told one protester 'We have to
fight' - and a fight certainly looked on the cars as the masses marched,
holding aloft effigies, including Trump hanging from a noose, and placards
reading 'Impeach White Supremacy.' That was just one of at least seven major
protests against the President-elect this evening, as cities ground to a halt
to accommodate the livid masses.
In Chicago, thousands marched through the
streets of the Loop, blocking traffic and surrounding cars. Philadelphia, which
had seen Nazi-related anti-Trump graffiti sprayed across its shop fronts last
night, was the subject of a 1,000-strong march. Boston Common saw a small
gathering growing into a crowd of thousands who chanted 'F**k Donald Trump' and
'Our President is a Nazi.' Half the student body of Berkeley High School,
California - some 1,500 people - walked out of classes after first period.
Portland, Oregon protesters numbering around 2,000 marched into the evening.
And outside The White House, hundreds of protesters gathered for the second
night running before walking on to the new Trump International Hotel.
