RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Hundreds of people turned out in Rapid City to both oppose Donald Trump on Presidents Day and also to support the new Republican president.

A larger anti-Trump faction stood on a street corner Monday as part of a “Not My President” protest, similar to other demonstrations being held across the country. A group supporting the president lined up on a different corner at the same intersection.

The Rapid City Journal (https://bit.ly/2l1mzDK ) reports both sides held signs supporting their positions. Anti-Trump protesters held posters saying “Make America Think Again,” and “Build bridges, not walls.”
