The ‘people’s indictment’ of Trump delivered at White House
Coordinated protests against the administration of Donald Trump continue, with activists surrounding the White House to deliver a people's indictment against Trump.
From the deployment of National Guard troops in American cities to unprecedented illegal immigration raids, to the axing of federal funding of government departments, Trump has inspired some activists to remain in a mode of permanent protest.
I'm 76 years old. I was able to live in the Vietnam era where President Nixon had to leave office.
Other countries through mass protests, like South Korea, other countries have like massively stood up and by nonviolent, very compelling actions to really inspire people and disrupt the workings of what's going on nonviolently. [sic]
And we have, we can do that.

The protesters say their regular actions are to inspire millions of Americans to return to the nation's capital and non-violently oust an administration they accuse of being fascist.
It has all the earmarks [sic] of someone whose simple goal is to amass as much power and to use power in as ruthless a way as necessary to instill fear in those who dare to oppose him.
Protester 02
Economic issues continue to mount in the United States, both structural, like inflation, housing and health care costs, and new like a Wall Street bust in the artificial intelligence boom.
Just 31% approve of Trump's handling of the economy, which is at an all time low and down from 40% as recently as March.
Because a lot of people don't believe in politics, don't address it, don't see it; but they do see what's happening in the pocketbook, in their own reality, and that's the first, usually first thing that people address, Americans address.
Protester 03
Trump's MAGA or Make America Great Again support base is also showing signs of fracture due to his imperialist attacks on Iran, Gaza and Venezuela, which contradict his promises to end Washington's foreign meddling and endless wars.
Trump's overall approval rating is 36% which is down from 42% earlier this year, but which is still rather high for a Western head of state.
However, his right-wing economic policies target the upper and not the working class, and he appears to be exacerbating, rather than healing, America's many cultural divides.
