PHILADELPHIA - President Donald Trump arrived in Philadelphia for a town hall at the National Constitution Center scheduled for Tuesday night.
Opposing groups of protesters gathered outside the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, hours before the event.
Dozens of Trump opponents held signs stating messages such as “Black Lives Matter” and “Trump/Pence out now” while chanting “We will not stop until they are gone” and other slogans. They were met by a smaller group of Trump supporters who waved his campaign flag.
The opposing groups exchanged derisive comments, but no physical confrontations were reported. A line of Philadelphia bike police were on scene to keep the groups separate.
