Trump protests around the world
President Donald Trump inspires strong feelings, drawing big crowds of supporters to his rallies -- and inspiring huge protests by his detractors. The day after he was sworn in, opponents turned out in cities across the country for what researchers call the largest single-day protest in U.S. history, the Women's March of January 21, 2017.
Unusually low approval ratings early in his term (40 percent about a month after inauguration, compared with Barack Obama's 64 percent and George W. Bush's 62 percent during the same period) also illustrate a deep displeasure with the current White House. And that displeasure is, apparently, spilling over into the streets in an unprecedented fashion.
