A day after the election, Trump spoke with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the two discussed how to bring about positive change for the city. Then Adams abruptly ended the immigrant food voucher program, which has cost the city at least $3.6 million since March of this year. Adams, a Democrat, has been vocal about the immigration crisis and the strain the massive influx of asylum seekers is putting on city funding and services, as well as his disappointment with the federal government’s response.

The protesters seem to think they can protest the election of our country’s legally elected 47th president. They make it clear that while Trump won a landslide victory, there is a minority who will not allow a polished transition. In fact, the slogan on their banner is: “We will not give in.”
Ironically, Trump won more Hispanic votes than any other Republican candidate. Accordingly End pollshe got 45 percent of the Latino vote.
Others protested against “fascist Trump.”
