Not my Président crient les gens surtout des jeunes, à travers toute l'Amérique.
C'est du jamais vue
CHICAGO/NEW YORK, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Throngs of demonstrators held marches across the United States on Wednesday to protest Republican Donald Trump's surprise victory in the U.S. presidential election, blasting his campaign rhetoric about immigrants, Muslims and other groups.
In New York, thousands of protesters filled streets in Midtown Manhattan as they made their way to Trump Tower, while hundreds others gathered at a Manhattan park and shouted: "Not my president."
In downtown Chicago, thousands more gathered outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower while chanting phrases like "No Trump! No KKK! No racist USA." Chicago police closed roads in the area, impeding the demonstrators' path. There were no immediate reports of arrests or violence.
"I'm just really terrified about what is happening in this country," said 22-year-old Adriana Rizzo, who was holding a sign that read: "Enjoy your rights while you can."
Protesters railed against Trump's campaign pledge to build a wall along the border with Mexico to keep out undocumented immigrants, and other policies they deemed racist.
"I'm particularly concerned about the rise of white nationalism and this is to show my support against that type of thing," Rizzo said.
Hundreds also gathered in Philadelphia and Boston on Wednesday evening, and organizers planned rallies in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland, California. In Austin, the Texas capital, about 400 people marched through the streets, police said.
A representative of the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the protests. In his victory speech, Trump said he would be president for all Americans, saying: "It is time for us to come together as one united people."
Earlier this month, his campaign rejected the support of a Ku Klux Klan newspaper and said that "Mr. Trump and his campaign denounces hate in any form."
