A growing number of antitrump protesters in new york city are marching towards trump tower heading north from union square. Nbcs Morgan Radford is walking among them. Morgan, welcome to you. Whats it like right now . Reporter alex, with afternoon we are standing in the middle of the street here, thousands of protesters surrounding me. They started out at union square, we left at 12 30. You can see the signing carrying this is just a sense of the magnitude of people all the way around there. Jam packing the streets and saying things like this is not my president. Love trumps hate. But there is also this incredible concern that those who felt marginalized by president elect Donald Trumps comments will feel like this is an america that does not include them going forward. Take a listen to what one person i spoke to had to say. Im afraid of more black people will get shot in the s
to wish him well is an important sign and it s a part of that transition we talked so much about where people get behind the new president even when there are bruised feelings and very deep divides. yep, alex, he was elected this is how the country moves forward, it s how we do things in this country. as are the demonstrations that are under way today. that s part of it, too. it s part of the deal as well. thank you very much kelly o donnell. joining me now sema meda and molly cooper. i will start with you molly, what did you glean from obama and trump s comments yesterday? are we hearing more about what went on in that room for 90 minutes. i think that actually from what i understand there weren t staff in the room. it was a one on one conversation and true to his word i think they were talking about the personnel issues facing donald trump now that he is going to take on this role as president of the united states.
