Several anti-Donald Trump protests emerged in New York, DC, Chicago, California, Boston, Seattle, and other major cities Wednesday night, with demonstrators blocking and cutting off traffic among calls of “Not my president!”
Aerial shots of the protest in Chicago show hundreds, if not thousands of protesters blocking traffic, while several people holding a Mexican flag shouted, “Fuck Donald Trump!”
