Anti-Trump protesters took to the streets of Washington D.C. outside the venue for the so-called "Deplorables" ball, where supporters of Donald Trump gathered to celebrate his election to the White House.
During the presidential campaign, Trump's Presidential rival Democrat Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables."
Washington was turned into a virtual fortress ahead of the inauguration, with police ready to step in to separate protesters from Trump supporters at any sign of unrest. One anti-Trump protester was arrested.
A Trump supporter told Reuters, "People shouldn't get mad over people showing their grief." And anti-Trump demonstrator said she feared Trump would turn, "The American government into reality TV." - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
