Donald Trump won the 2016 election, becoming president-elect. Hell be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017.
Weve already seen Trump in action as president-elect, spending time on Thursday at the White House with President Barack Obama, where the two discussed the transition of power. Trump also met with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to further discuss policy ideas and the transition to the presidency.
Pockets of the country havent been too excited about Trumps election, though. Protests have popped up in major U.S. cities such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Seattle and Portland also saw a wealth of protests condemning the president-elect.
Much of this is related to Trumps unlikability. Exit polls from the election show that neither Trump nor his opponent, Hillary Clinton, were well-liked. A poll from Morning Consult found that 67 percent of voters felt Trump was not easy to like, while 60 percent felt the same about Clinton.
Similarly, before the election, Trump had close to a 60 percent unfavorable rating, according to Real Clear Politics.
The responses to these protests have been mixed. Some political pundits are questioning why the protests are happening while other commentators are tweeting that there are better ways to handle the elections results.
This is something that celebrities across multiple outlets have shared, too. Even if youre not happy with the election results, theres a positive way to view the election and the new president-elect.
