Trump's return to Manhattan meet protests and violence

Trump returns to his Manhattan house, Trump Towers for the first time as President but unfortunately, he was met with about 1000 protesters that came because of his comment on the recent Charlottesville crisis.

Trump tweeted:

Donald J. Trump

Feels good to be home after seven months, but the White House is very special, there is no place like it... and the U.S. is really my home!

Some of the protesters formed a human wall while others shouted messages like "no hate" or "impeach." Nearby, an inflatable caricature of Trump in the form of a rat was set up at The Plaza hotel.

Trump was criticized because of his statement on the violence following a rally of white supremacists and white nationalists in Charlottesville.

In the President's first remark, he called the violence an act of "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides."

Two days later, amid mounting pressure, he made new remarks denouncing hate groups, including white supremacists.

He was therefore not welcome in his US home and was met with protest...
