Mass Protests Erupt Across U.S. and Europe Against Trump’s Policies
Washington, United States:
Tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded streets across major U.S. cities on Saturday, voicing fierce opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies in what became the largest wave of protests since his return to the White House. From Washington to New York, Houston to Los Angeles, and even overseas in European capitals, crowds condemned what they called an increasingly authoritarian administration.
Organized under the banner of “Hands Off,” the demonstrations were coordinated by a coalition of progressive groups including MoveOn and Women’s March, with events held in more than 1,000 U.S. cities and every congressional district.
Protesters decried the president’s sweeping government cuts, his aggressive trade measures, erosion of civil liberties, and what they labeled attacks on women’s rights and democracy.
“I’m angry all the time. A bunch of privileged, white alleged rapists are controlling our country,” said Shaina Kesner, 43, a painter marching through Manhattan. “It’s not great.”
In Washington, thousands gathered on the National Mall—many traveling from out of state—to hear impassioned speeches condemning Trump’s policies at home and abroad.
“We brought about 100 people from New Hampshire to say enough is enough,” said Diane Kolifrath, a bike tour guide. “They’re gutting our government and isolating us globally.”
From symbolic displays like a woman in Los Angeles dressed as a character from The Handmaid’s Tale holding a flag reading “Get out of my uterus,” to signs in Colorado reading “No king for USA,” the tone was defiant.
Even overseas, the message resonated. In London, Liz Chamberlin, a dual US-British citizen, joined protests, saying, “What’s happening in America is everyone’s problem. It’s economic lunacy—he’s pushing us toward a global recession.”
In Berlin, retiree Susanne Fest called Trump’s presidency “a constitutional crisis,” adding, “The guy is a lunatic.”
Critics accuse Trump of downsizing key government functions, pushing hardline conservative values, and implementing protectionist trade policies that have rattled financial markets and strained international alliances.
“We’re out here to stop, honestly, fascism,” said Dominic Santella at a Boston rally. “He wants to jail his opponents and immigrants alike. We won’t allow it.”
Speaking in Washington, Representative Jamie Raskin—who led Trump’s second impeachment—rallied the crowd: “No moral person wants an economy-crashing dictator who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
Veteran activist Graylan Hagler added, “They’ve woken up a sleeping giant. We won’t sit down, we won’t be quiet, and we will not go away.”
Saturday’s demonstrations were largely peaceful, with a vibrant atmosphere under sunny skies. Protesters ranged from seasoned activists to young parents pushing strollers.
Organizers had initially expected a turnout of around 20,000 in Washington alone, but by afternoon, attendance had significantly surpassed projections.
Despite the backlash, Trump remains defiant. “My policies will never change,” he declared Friday. While his approval rating has dropped to a new low, he continues to enjoy unwavering support from his core base—and shows no signs of backing down.
