“Mask to Mars”: thousands of Americans spoke out against Trump and his team Irina Chebotnikova

Protests against the new US leader have already begun. According to media reports, thousands of people have come out to the protests. Channel 24 collected the parts.

The protesters paid special attention to the figure of Elon Musk. The billionaire has already managed to not only make scandalous statements, but also gestures. Literally. Trump was even forced to say that Musk cannot do anything without the administration's approval.

Protests took place in Philadelphia, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Alabama and Indiana. People spoke out against Trump's policies, in particular, his decisions regarding immigrants and the LGBT community. And also statements on the Gaza Strip.

Here are just a few of the slogans: “No Nazi trash!”, “Immigrants will make America great”, “Immigrants built America”, “My body, my choice”, “Trump is not a strong man, he is a fraud”, “USAID saves lives”.

One of the immigrant families took a child to the protest. On the baby's back was a sign that read “My parents are not criminals.”

“Hate won't make America great”, “Proud to be the daughter of immigrants”, “We didn't vote for Musk”, “No to traitors”, “Save democracy”, the posters testified.

The protesters reminded that with great with power comes great responsibility. Some even called for Elon Musk to be arrested or sent to Mars, and for Trump to be impeached. Americans are against the “billionaires' takeover.” They also condemned the so-called Project 2025.

People coordinated their actions online using the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501. The numbers “50501” stand for a call to hold 50 protests in all 50 states on one day.

Thus, protesters in the United States actively played up Trump's slogan “Make America Great Again.” They also showed an AI-generated drawing of Trump and Musk kissing. This continues a political tradition, as the “Brotherly Kiss” graffiti on the Berlin Wall was once very popular. It depicted Brezhnev and the head of the German Democratic Republic, Erich Honecker, with the caption “God, help me survive this deadly love.”
