Protest Outside Trump Tower Marks 100th Day in Office

Protesters in New York City marked Donald Trump's 100th day in office by gathering in front of his Fifth Avenue home to proclaim that he's a failure as president.

On Saturday, they joined a nationwide day of action called "100 Days of Failure." Activists highlighted policies they say are not only failing Americans, but also endangering people around the world.

Neil Mitchell says the president "has the House, he has the Senate, he has the White House, and he hasn't been able to do anything." The Bronx resident says Trump is an example of what he called "blind incompetence."

New York participants created signs that detailed 100 ways they say the Trump administration is reversing progress in areas including climate change, immigration, health care, foreign policy and women's rights.

In New Jersey, several hundred people took part in climate change marches.

Participants voiced their concerns that Trump's environmental policies will cause problems not only now but also in the future.

Roughly 150 people marched in Maplewood, chanting "No exchanges, no refunds. Climate change can't be undone." Many said they had never taken part in a protest march before, but felt they had to get involved in this effort because it's too important an issue to ignore.

Among them were John and Rosemary Howlett. The Maplewood residents said they are "terrified" about what state the environment will be in for their grandchildren's grandchildren if action is not taken now to reverse climate change.

Similar marches were held in five other communities across the state, including Princeton and Hackensack.
