Anti-Trump protests in New York City

Several hundred people gathered in New York to demonstrate against Donald Trump outside the Manhattan hotel hosting the Republican presidential frontrunner and his rival candidates at a lavish gala.

The crowd held up posters comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and accused him of being racist and anti-immigration amid a heavy police presence.

“No Trump, no racism, immigrants are welcome here!” members of the gathering shouted. “New York is a no hate zone!” another slogan said.

“The GOP platform is hate and fear,” said Jason Hurd, a former soldier who founded the pacifist movement Iraq Veterans Against the War, referring to the Republican Party. (AFP)
