The protest comes as West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio announced they would deploy hundreds of additional National Guard troops to the nation's capital.

Protesters in Washington, D.C., chanted “Trump must go now” and “Free D.C.” as they walked from Dupont Circle to the White House Saturday afternoon, passing several police officers as well as National Guard troops.

At parks, coffee shops, churches and government buildings around the country, hundreds of groups are gathering today with a simple message: “Stop the Trump takeover.”
