Trump's policies protested in all 50 US states: 'Hands off' slogans

The policies pursued by US President Donald Trump in his second term have been protested in all 50 states of the US.

Protests are also being held outside the US in neighboring Canada and Mexico. On the European continent, protest demonstrations took place on Saturday in London, Paris, Berlin, and Frankfurt.

Organizers announced that they expected 20,000 people to attend the demonstration held around the Washington Monument in the capital, Washington. Protesters say they are organizing the demonstrations against the steps Trump has taken to expand presidential authority.

Saturday's demonstrations are expected to be the largest protest action to take place in a single day since Trump took office.

In the protest demonstrations held with the slogan "Hands off," demands are being made for Trump to step back from his policies on various issues.

There was also a familiar face at the anti-Trump protests in Washington D.C. The giant Pikachu we saw in the protests regarding the detention of İmamoğlu appeared this time in the anti-Trump actions on the streets of America.

MUSK WAS ALSO PROTESTED

The policies of billionaire businessman Elon Musk, an ally of Trump, were also protested during the demonstrations.

With Trump's approval, Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team terminated the jobs of more than 200,000 of the 2.3 million federal employees.

There were also instances where experts whose services were later realized to be needed were called back to their positions.

The Internal Revenue Service, which operates in the field of tax administration in the US, began laying off more than 20,000 employees on Friday. This corresponds to 25 percent of its total staff.

On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered outside the headquarters of the Social Security Administration near Baltimore to protest the cuts at the agency, which provides assistance to the elderly and disabled.

The agency had recently announced that 7,000 personnel would be laid off and that telephone services provided to millions of people would be terminated.
