C10-1: More than a million people marched against Trump

On Saturday the Women's March on Washington was said to have drawn in at least 2.5 million people. CNN claims that there were over 1 million people in other states having their own organized marches. This Women's march has been reported as being the most populated march since before 2009, merely because of Trump's inauguration. Many of my friends went to Washington or other states to protest their beliefs, so it's relevant for me to follow. More than that, Trump's only comment to the press so far has been complaining about his turn out for the inauguration ceremony, there was said to be less than any other inauguration before. Trump claimed that there were at least a million people there, but by the looks of pictures and other news on television, there seems to be major gaps in the National Mall. This turnout only amplifies the overarching truths of how the next four years with President Trump will prove to be.
