ALBAWABA - Hundreds of thousands of Americans across all 50 states, including the capital, Washington, held massive demonstrations against US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

According to US media, protesters were calling to end the Trump administration's interference in their lives under the slogan "Hands Up". 

About 600,000 protesters took to the streets to express their rejection of US President Donald Trump's policies on education, jobs, the economy, and democracy, CNN reported. 

Sources revealed that a coalition of more than 150 organizations joined the anti-Trump demonstrations, and the event was described as the largest single-day gathering since Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, 2020. The protests spread to around 1,200 locations across the country.

Organizers said they have three calls: "an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities."
