The local police used against the parties to the conflict tear gas and dispersed the demonstration. 

Clashes between supporters and opponents of Donald Trump took place in the heart of Washington, near the National Press Club. The AP news agency reported that the police officers had to use tear gas and batons against protesters to prevent the escalation of the conflict. The demonstrators began to throw smoke bombs in response. But the law enforcement agencies managed to disperse the troublemakers.

Hundreds of people gathered at the National Press Club building to hold a «Ball of the miserable». It is a word used by the State Hillary Clinton, while speaking about Trump supporters. The opponents of the Republican also took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction. They chanted slogans such as ‘No Trump’ and tried to attack a man with a flag on which were written slogans in support of the President-elect. 

In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio, as well as popular Hollywood actors, came out in the streets to protest against Donald Trump. Among the celebrities were seen Cher, Alec Baldwin, Robert De Niro, Mark Ruffalo and the director Michael Moore.
