Demonstrations against Trump turn violent in Oregon

It seems that a lot of Americans are not ready to accept Donald Trump as their president as there have been multiple anti-Trump demonstrations reported across different states in America.

Initially there were no reports of any violence reported in any of these protests but things have started turning intense especially in Oregon. According to reports, thousands of Americans took to the streets to show their disagreement over the results which declared Donald Trump as the president of America.

The protestors broke windows of businesses and started dumpster fire downtown in Oregon. Due to the nature of the demonstrations and the violent actions, the police have termed them a riot in Portland.

The Portland police revealed in a series of Tweets that the protestors were becoming increasingly violent and aggressive and high number of vandalism cases were also being reported.

According to police reports, multiple people with bats were seen at these protests and they were asking people not wanting to be associated with protestors to leave the area.

Heated arguments also broke out between Trump supporters and opponents at these rallies and one woman was seen throwing detergent at the protestors.

According to an estimate, around 4,000 protestors were in the street with chants like ‘we reject the president-elect’.

Meanwhile security personnel sealed the two Trump marquee properties with security barricades so that the demonstrators could not reach it.

President Trump is not really happy with the reaction of these people. On Friday he tweeted; “Just had a very open and successful presidential election.Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!”
