Daily Mail reports that they were joined by others in cities across the country as the nation celebrated its Presidents Day holiday.

In a festive mood, demonstrators of all ages and ethnicities gathered in Columbus Circle, in front of Trump International Hotel and near Central Park to voice their dismay with President Donald Trump.

Grassroot Opposition

The protests aim to show grassroots opposition to the Republican president remains fervent one month after his January 20 inauguration.

On Monday, anti-Trump activists took advantage of the federal public holiday, dedicated to US presidents, to organize "Not My Presidents Day" rallies in a number of cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Washington.

In New York, where the unofficial crowd estimate was 3,000, Rima Strauss, a retired psychotherapist, wore a jean jacket with a button "Not my president" and another one of Putin holding a baby Donald in diapers.

"He's hurting our country. We're losing our country if we don't do something," Strauss said.

"Trump won't listen to us, but if ordinary people march in the streets, maybe we'll have some kind of revolution against Trump, I hope."

Qamar Khan, a 26-year-old medical school student from Pakistan, said he wanted to voice disagreement with Trump.


"We are not protesting. We are Muslims. We want to spread the message of peace and love, true Islam. I do obey President Trump as our president, but I don't have to agree with his policies."

One month after his inauguration, President Trump has seen his approval ratings sag and the political divisions of his election deepen.


A new president's traditional honeymoon? It's nowhere in sight.

Ratings sag

Trump retains overwhelming support among Republicans. In the latest Pew Research Center poll, 84% of Republicans said they approved of the job Trump was doing as president, comparable to the ratings other newly elected presidents have gotten at this point among their own partisans.

Unlike other new presidents, however, Trump hasn't expanded his appeal to include those who didn't help elect him. Just 8% of Democrats approve of the job he's doing, by far the lowest standing for any modern president from the opposition party.

Overall, Trump's approval ratings this month in traditional surveys taken by telephone interviewers range from 39% in the Pew Poll to 48% in a Fox News poll. His disapproval ratings range from 56% in Pew to 47% in Fox.
