PHOTOS: Anti-Trump Protesters Flood Philly Streets
PHOTOS: Protesters hit the streets of Philadelphia as President Trump arrived in the city Thursday.
Not everyone is happy about President Donald Trump's visit to Philadelphia on Thursday, as protesters have taken to the streets throughout the city to express their frustration. The president is in the city to speak at a Republican retreat consisting of many of the party's top leaders. While protesters were unhappy about a variety of issues championed by the new administration, a major focus of signs and speeches Thursday seemed to be on the repealing of ObamaCare.
Here are some sights and scenes from around the city as protesters gathered Thursday:
