PHOTO ESSAY BY DONNA ACETO | Thousands of protesters, including Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, spent their Presidents’ Day off filling more than half a dozen blocks of Central Park West north of the Trump International Hotel and Towers in Columbus Circle to send an unmistakable message to the current occupant of the White House: “You’re #NotMyPresident.”
In the month since Donald Trump took office there have been hundreds of protests nationwide –– on every single weekend – beginning with the Women’s Marches the day after his inauguration, continuing with the demonstrations against his immigration/ refugee executive order the following weekend, and including numerous #NotMyPresident rallies in major cities Monday. The Central Park demonstration was the third major anti-Trump demonstration in Manhattan alone on Presidents’ Day Weekend.
