Days after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, thousands flocked to the streets of New York City to demonstrate against the president elect in a protest organized by a Kremlin-connected Facebook page called BlackMattersUS, The Hill reports. Between 5,000 and 10,000 people attended the protest organized by the Facebook page, which, according to an archived screen grab, had more than 99,000 likes.
“Join us in the streets! Stop Trump and his bigoted agenda!” the Facebook event page reads for the protest, which was called “Trump is NOT my President. March against Trump.” “Divided is the reason we just fell,” it reads. “We must unite despite our differences to stop HATE from ruling the land.”

#FAKEAMERICANS
Useful idiots
But, but wasn’t Russia wanting a Trump Presidency!! Haha they were for Hitlery all along.
Beware, friends, of those who want to divide your house.
Hillary was bought and paid for by the Russians long ago. Any pretend support for President Trump was intended to hurt his chances.
Why is it that the democrats play the useful idiot so easily?
Once again, the giddy Democrats didn’t wait for the details to be displayed, instead they ran full force into a storm screaming, “The Russians helped Trump! The Russians helped Trump!”
But now that the data is being revealed, the truth is that Russia may have attempted to influence this election, but they cut BOTH WAYS! In other words, they didn’t support Trump, nor Killary, they supported DISCORD IN AMERICA’S ELECTION PROCESS! DUH!!
Hell, if Cuba had the capabilities, I wouldn’t doubt that THEY would be doing such, and Venezuela, and any other number of Socialist countries that would love to see the fall of America! None of those countries are “pro-Trump”, they are PRO-DISCORD!
Now in other breaking news, water is wet!
I wasn’t influenced by anybody or social media to vote for Trump. I have hated Bill’s bit©h for thirty years.
Unlike the entirety of Europe that loudly proclaimed their support for the Stupid Broad the entire time.
Weird after all they did to get him elected...</S>
CNN covered the protests:

"I've been proud of my city, proud of students out there and people who are exercising their patriotic right," he told CNN Saturday.
In New York, angry crowds — some carrying signs with messages such as “Not my president” — marched to the President-elect’s doorstep, Trump Tower, where he lives and works.
For part of the march up Fifth Avenue, they chanted, “Donald Trump go away. Racist — sexist — anti-gay.”
Outside the gleaming tower, demonstrators at one point booed at people standing on balconies.

In New York City, about 2,000 protesters marched up Fifth Avenue toward Trump Tower, where they gathered outside, according to local ABC-owned station WABC. They held signs that read, “Not my president,” “Say no to racism,” “We are all human, we all deserve rights” and “Love trumps hate.”
Two protesters were arrested overnight for “interfering with police process,” according to the NYPD.
The president-elect had been holed up inside Trump Tower with his transition team all day.

For the third night in a row, anti-Donald Trump demonstrators took to the streets in several big cities and on college campuses across the United States, including an outburst of smashed windows and a dumpster fire in Portland that police countered with pepper spray and flash-bang devices.

Anti-Trump groups called for demonstrations Friday evening in Miami and West Palm Beach. Organizers of the Miami rally stressed that peaceful nature of the protests and called on demonstrators to bring signs to reflect that. "Many people voted for Trump because of an anti-establishment feeling which we embrace," protest organizers said on Facebook. "It is “him” as a solution we resist. There may be common ground with these people and this is focused on Trump, not all his supporters."
Demonstrations also took place Thursday night in Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Minn. Protests in Madison, Wisconsin's capital, and Milwaukee, the state's most populous city, drew some of the biggest crowds, with more than 1,000 demonstrators taking to streets in both cities.
