"Say no to fascism. Say no to Trump," read placards held by some of the demonstrators outside Trump Tower – the Fifth Avenue offices of the real estate magnate's business empire. A group of Muslim demonstrators held prayer outside the building as part of their protests. "We started holding our protests in July, when Trump said Mexicans were drug dealers, criminals and rapists," one of the demonstrators, Jaime Gonzalez, 34, said. "Today we're here because of his offensive remarks about the Muslim community." AB/IINA
