Donald Trump supporters get ecstatic, as Trump and his family members show up in a huge monitor in the National Mall on the presidential inauguration. Their expression is extremely similar to that of Obama supporters 8 years ago. However, United states finds it very divided now.

It is believed at least more than half million people joined the protest, few or several times higher than that of Trump inauguration. Moreover, similar protests against Trump happened not only across United States, but in the world.
The Women’s March saw hundreds of thousands of people in pussyhats flood the Mall the next day.
