Here Are Some Of The Best Signs From The Anti-Trump 'Hands Off!' Protests
HuffPost
More than 500,000 people registered for more than 1,200 demonstrations across all 50 states to protest President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
Thousands of people across the U.S. took to the streets Saturday to protest President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
The “Hands Off!” demonstrations are expected to be the largest single-day protests since Trump entered office. More than 500,000 people were registered by Friday for more than 1,200 demonstrations across all 50 states. There were also demonstrations across the world, including in London and Berlin.
Among the key issues for protesters are Trump’s ruinous tariff policies that have seen the U.S. economy tank in just a matter of days and his gutting of the federal workforce. Thousands of civil servants in critical roles have been fired as part of Musk’s new so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
“This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies,” a statement from the D.C. organizers said. “Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop to the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.”
As the economy continues to nosedive and Americans express their anger at Trump, the president is spending the weekend in Florida competing in a golf tournament.
