Anti-Trump and Musk Protests Draw Massive Crowds Across the U.S.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets across the United States in a series of demonstrations known as the 'Hands Off' protests, targeting former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. The protests, which have also spread globally, saw significant participation in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, with crowds chanting slogans against the influence of Trump and Musk in politics and business.
The 'Hands Off' movement, which began as a response to perceived overreach by Trump and Musk, has gained momentum over the past few weeks. Protesters are expressing frustration over a range of issues, including Trump's continued political influence and Musk's business decisions, particularly his involvement with cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. The demonstrations have been largely peaceful, though some cities reported minor clashes with law enforcement.
Images from the protests show a diverse group of participants, from young activists to older citizens, united in their call for change. The movement has also sparked discussions on social media, with hashtags like #HandsOff and #TrumpMuskProtests trending nationwide. As the protests continue to grow, it remains to be seen how they will impact the political and economic landscape in the U.S.
