Photos: At least 20 people arrested after clashes as hundreds rally in support of Trump

A dagger, metal pipes, bats, pieces of lumber and bricks were confiscated in California.

FROM COLORADO’S STATE Capitol to Trump Tower in New York and the Washington Monument, groups of hundreds of people rallied for President Donald Trump yesterday, waving “Deplorables for Trump” signs and even carrying a life-size cutout of the president.

Chelsea Thomas, an accountant from Thornton, Colorado, brought her family to the Trump rally in Denver — and the life-size cardboard cutout of Trump. She said the family has taken it with them on camping trips, boat rides and a country music festival.

“It’s nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions,” said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag.

Many in the crowd held American flags or wore red, white and blue and held signs with messages like “Veterans before Refugees.”

Police in Berkeley, California, say 10 people were arrested after Trump supporters and counter-protesters clashed during a rally that turned violent and left seven people injured. None of the injured was hospitalised.

A dagger, metal pipes, bats, pieces of lumber and bricks were confiscated, police said.

Six people protesting the rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, were arrested on felony riot charges after they lit fireworks inside the Minnesota State Capitol and fled, police said. About 400 people attended the event, and about 50 showed up to protest it.

In Nashville, two people were arrested as protesters clashed with Trump supporters at the Tennessee Capitol. In Olympia, Washington, the state patrol says four demonstrators were arrested at a rally in support of Trump, KOMO-TV reported. Authorities did not say if the people arrested were pro-Trump or anti-Trump. The station reports that the demonstrators are accused of assaulting a police officer.

Near Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach Post reported that people on both sides exchanged profanity. Trump’s motorcade briefly stopped so he could wave at supporters.

In Ohio, Trump supporter Margaret Howe, 57, of Pataskala, said she increasingly fears civil war.

“We did not want to have something like this happen,” she said, adding,

We came out today because Trump deserves to see he still has people for him. It’s just all sad.

A group of counter protesters gathered nearby, separated from the rally by police tape. They chanted “No Trump. No KKK. No fascist USA” and held signs with messages like “Your vote was a hate crime.”

Hundreds gathered in rallies on both ends of Pennsylvania to show support for Trump.

Supporters waved signs and flags and listened to speeches during Saturday’s “Spirit of America” rally in Bensalem’s Neshaminy State Park in eastern Pennsylvania’s Bucks County. Organiser Jim Worthington said:

They love their country and they love what Donald Trump represents, which is about making America first.

In northwestern Pennsylvania, the Erie Times-News reported that about 100 people gathered at a square in downtown Erie for a similar demonstration. “We’ve got to get the whole country united behind this man,” said Richard Brozell, 75, who along with his wife braved the mid-20s temperatures and stiff wind chill to attend

In Augusta, Maine, more than 100 people turned out for the event that was supposed to last three hours, but ended early because of freezing temperatures.

In Miami, supporters continued a rally while sipping espressos outside a Cuban restaurant, the Miami Herald reported.

At a North Carolina rally, speakers said the dishonest media and left wing politicians were bordering on sedition in their opposition to the Republican president. Some men were seen walking through the Raleigh crowd carrying a Trump flag as well as a Confederate flag.

Gathered just behind the rally was a handful of protesters, some of whom blew air horns in an attempt to disrupt the event. Cherie Francis, of Cary, North Carolina said:

We’re gonna take our country back and we’re gonna establish borders and have legal immigration and law and order.

In Indianapolis, about 30 Trump supporters rallied at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis to denounce what they see as unfair treatment of the Republican. A local organiser, 61-year-old Patty Collins, of Indianapolis, said Trump’s critics “aren’t giving him a chance.”

Trump supporters turned in Phoenix. Media outlets reported that several hundred people participated in the Phoenix event held on a lawn at the State Capitol.

In Texas, Austin police say about 300 people rallied in support of Trump in a gathering outside the Capitol during rain. Organiser Jennifer Drabbant said there have been so many protests against Trump that she and others wanted to show there are people who support him.

Scores of people also rallied in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in a show of support for Trump. The Virginian-Pilot reports around 200 Trump backers showed up for the event at a park. Some held American flags and others wore “Make America Great Again” hats and Trump T-shirts.

In Lansing, Michigan, about 200 Trump supporters rallied on one side of the state Capitol while 100 critics gathered on another side.

“Agree with President Trump or not, he is our president, and I think what I see happening in DC and with the Democrats — it can’t stand,” said Gary Taylor, 60.

    Could you elaborate on how Obama is personally responsible for those deaths. And use actual examples rather than the “well if he did/didn’t do this”
    Also while I don’t really care about the protestors Trump has already said he will invade Syria if he gets elected(put boots on the ground), and said nukes are the way to go. Do you think that’s the right way to go? If not then protesting against him is fair enough.

    Obama’s organisation armed the FSA and still continues to arm. They handed guns to a rebel organisation in a different country which were to be used to kill people. Whether you like Assad or not, does not matter. USA administration armed rebels in another country to help them overthrow their ruler. Also, for a period, FSA pledged allegiance to IS, meaning Obama was arming his direct enemy.
    It’s nothing new to them, they have been messing in other countries for years so Obama ain’t the first and won’t be the last. Still should be tried for his crimes though

    I’m not going to defend America’s history of interference with countries. I think even the former leader of Mali who has recently been convicted of Human Rights violations lately(cant remember his name) was supposed to be have been helped by the CIA. Ironically the 70′s and 80′s were the worst for this kind of thing and Trumps message to “make America great again” I assume would coincide with this period? Or when is he actually saying America was great.
    Anyway, the fact is the uprising of the Syrian people had already begun, and Assad was murdering them. That was happening. So left with a choice between doing nothing and trying to arm the people they thought might be the most moderate of them, a choice was made. No good choices in this kinda of war but to label him a murderer because he made that kind of choice? a bit too far for me. A lot of people on here would have also have criticised him for doing nothing.
    And on Isis, the Assad regime was the one who bought the most oil off isis. So by your logic if Russia, whether they knew it or not were supporting isis through assad as a proxy

    He had a choice. There is always a choice. And he chose to get involved. Granted it’s not an easy one, and people would have criticised him for doing nothing. But by becoming involved he made the web ever more intricate and got blood on his hands. I’m not saying these rebels and innocent civilians would all be alive if he did nothing, but you cannot dismiss that fact he played a major role in their death. An I am not saying that Putin is innocent either. Truth is both are the bads guys, there are no good guys and we are the victims

    So let me see if I understand this correctly. Trump wants to forge a better relationship between America and Russia. Hillary meanwhile wants to create a no fly zone in Syria to potentially shoot down Russian planes in order to stop them from killing ISIS Jihadis and their allies.

    Trump simply doesn’t want to allow Muslim immigration to the US due to the results from countless polls and surveys which suggest that a significant amount (not a majority, but a large enough amount to cause worry) have views which are incompatible with western democracy, but otherwise wants to leave them alone. Hillary strongly supported the war in Iraq, and has been implicated in wikileaks as being heavily involved in the regime change in Libya, and the current attempted regime change in Syria, which has resulted in the deaths of plenty of Muslims.

    But Trump is the one who is going to start a war, and is the one we should protest. Yeah… sounds legit.

    A dignified, low key and frosty reaction would be the best tactical response.

    Protest is freedom of expression. Even if tactically unwise and counter productive, protest is a civil and fundamental human right and should only be constrained to the minimum extent required to keep reasonable order and to maintain public safety.

    Democracy always involves diversity of opinion. We limit that expression of diversity of opinion at our peril.

    Everyone getting wound up over Trump, would they be as quick to protest if Hillary Clinton came over? She’s a blood thirsty war mongering psycho. She got 600 k in speaking fees from Peter Sutherlands goldman sachs last year. She’s buddies with a Rothschild also.

    Ger, yes he has a right to comment. No one is preventing him from doing so so relax the anti-racism reflexes and instead observe who he actually seems to be please.
    Petr, not all complete strangers should actually be welcomed anywhere.

    Trump,just dump,if the Irish have any cop at all they surely won’t vote for this war monger,I fear for our future and our children’s future if this gombeen,who bought his way into the primaries is elected,my preference would be Bernie,but he seems to be in a little trouble at this point.
    Hopefully he won’t get any kind of reception from our multi coloured government and the public.
    Clare is his only stomping ground,all though we are hearing that his hotel and golf course staff are not very happy with the hourly rate they are getting.

    He hasn’t started any leads because he had not yet held any position of political power. However, in his short time as a candidate there has already been violence at his rallies, something which has not happened at others.

If i wanted to go and disrupt another political party either inside or outside i could hardly blame the other side . Trump supporters dont go to bernie or hillary rallies and cause trouble .

    Trump is a threat to the corporate globalist consensus of open borders, and jobs destroying trade deals that make westerners compete with Third World companies paying workers 6 cent a day (Sanders mentioned that wage rate in Vietnam). I support him.

    Trump is a clown with a dangerously low IQ, but I really can’t see what people think a protest in Ireland will accomplish. Most people outside of Ireland still think we’re part of the UK ffs, speaks to how much attention non-Irish people pay to the place outside of visiting cliffs and such.

    Does Eamon Ryan thinks he’s represents all Irish people by saying that. I’m sure if he asked the 300 people whose livelihoods depend on the Trump Hotel in Doonbeg not to talk of 1000′s more in west Clare who benefit indirectly from the resort. He has some neck considering he was part of the worst administration since the foundation of the state. I wonder could a counter protest be organised? A protest against the protest maybe?
