A number of protests are taking place across the city as Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States.<\/p>\n
Supporters of the organisation Hope Not Hate have been demonstrating in Queen Street and leafleting commuters with anti-Trump messages. The organisation also hung a banner saying \u2018Hope Trumps Hate\u2019 and \u2018Bridges Not Walls\u2019 by the Aspect building on Queen Street.<\/p>\n
Another group, Stand Up To Racism, has organised a protest this evening by Cardiff Castle.<\/p>\n
Jeff Hurford from the group says they are expecting more than a hundred people to attend. He says they have created a Trump pi\u00f1ata filled with chocolate love hearts.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s to send the message: love trumps hate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denis Campbell, the creator of UK Progressive magazine, is an American living near Cardiff. He says the new President is “totally unfit for office. He\u2019s been more concerned with the relationship with Russia, his business dealings, and everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
But some people in Cardiff are pleased about Mr Trump becoming president.<\/p>\n
Denis Tyner, who\u2019s 76, says people should give Mr Trump a chance.<\/p>\n
Mr Tyner, who lives in Trowbridge, says\u00a0\u201cTrump must have a brain on him to get where he is. I honestly believe he wants to get America back on his feet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan Williams, who\u2019s 19 and studies at Cardiff University, says \u201cTrump\u2019s not a politician, he\u2019s a business man and that\u2019s what people relate to. He represents change. People are sick of the same old thing.\u00a0 I would\u2019ve voted for Trump if I was American.\u201d<\/p>\n
