Timeline of protests against Donald Trump

Many protests against Donald Trump took place during his first presidential campaign in 2016 (beginning in 2015), to his first presidency (from 2017 through 2021), to his third presidential campaign in 2024 (starting in 2022), and to his second presidency (starting in 2025), and stem from issues such as human rights, immigration, racism, and climate change. The demonstrations were mostly organized and made up of left-wing American citizens and organizations throughout the United States, though there have been occasional right-wing protests against Trump, largely about his close relationship with convicted child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Protesters were at times confronted by counter-protesters and law enforcement, and protests at times turned aggressive.

Before 2015

1989

October 31 – Around 100 protestors from the HIV/AIDS activism organization ACT UP protested at Trump Tower in New York City in support of housing for people with HIV/AIDS. They protested against Trump because they saw him and the tower as a symbol of greediness and inequality. Due to it being in halloween, many were dressed in costume. They entered the building, throwing fliers from the escalator, leading to 6 arrests. One activist dressed as Dorothy Gale told police, after they had turned off the escalator, that they must turn it back on because he was wearing heels. They did so, leading to cheers from protestors as he came down.

2009

March 3 – At least 9 Scottish protesters associated with the group Plane Stupid daringly protested the expansion of Aberdeen Airport on grounds that private jets significantly contribute to climate change. Trump was planning an extravagant golf resort north of Aberdeen and financing growth at the airport to enable more private jets to land there. The protest included dressing in a mockery of Donald Trump's fashion and pretending to play golf on the runway. Johnny Agnew, who climbed on an airport building roof to help disrupt operations was quoted as saying: "The reality is that our generation's future is vanishing so that people like Donald Trump and his super-rich friends can jet into Aberdeen for a round of golf."

2012

April 25 – Over 40 Edinburgh Locals protested Trump's speech where he threatened he was withholding funding for a golf hotel unless a planned nearby wind turbine was cancelled. Trump's fight against the wind energy developments was later shot down in court. The golf project, which was already partially completed, was built regardless of the turbine.

2016 presidential campaign

2015

Protests against Trump began following the announcement of his candidacy in June 2015, especially after he said that illegal immigrants from Mexico were "bringing drugs, bringing crime, they're rapists".

  • July 9 – In Washington, D.C., a group of protesters gathered outside of the future Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C. to demonstrate and "call for a worldwide boycott of Trump properties and TV shows".
  • July 10 – While Trump spoke at a Friends of Abe gathering, about 150 protesters gathered with signs and hitting piñatas made in Trump's image. A smaller group of Trump supporters gathered near the protests and caused tension, with one Trump supporter beginning to jab at protesters.

  • August 25 – During a press conference, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos began to question Trump since before being called on. After being told "Sit down! you weren't called" and "Go back to Univision", Ramos continued to protest Trump's plan to deport illegal immigrants and their children born into citizenship in the U.S. Trump motioned to his security, with Keith Schiller removing Ramos from the event. Trump later met with Ramos alone.

One audience member punched a protester. Trump called the hecklers "drugged out" and "so weak" for not resisting when security guards escorted them away. Trump questioned why the protesters would heckle him in front of "a group of 9,000 maniacs that want to kill them."

  • March 11 – During a rally in St. Louis, at which Trump was "repeatedly interrupted by protesters, violence broke out between supporters of Trump and protesters, resulting in 32 arrests." A planned event for later that day in Chicago drew confrontations between supporters and protesters in the arena at the University of Illinois at Chicago before Trump could come out to speak, due to an unusually large number of protesters, and the campaign cancelled the rally due to safety concerns.

Individuals on both sides shouted and threw trash and the occasional punch, but no injuries or property damage were reported.
