Thousands join anti-Trump protests around the US

Thousands of protesters around the country took to the streets on Wednesday to condemn the election of Donald Trump as president.

The demonstrations were mostly peaceful, authorities said. In Chicago, several thousand people marched through the Loop and gathered outside Trump Tower, chanting "Not my president!"

Chicago resident Michael Burke said he believes the president-elect will "divide the country and stir up hatred". He added there was a constitutional duty not to accept that.
