Donald Trump is coming to New York for the first time since the inauguration of Trump as the 45th President of the United State, not just to attend an event and move on but to stay in his Trump Tower residence.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is ready with very tight security measures: 5th avenue is closed to the traffic and sand-filled trucks and “blocker vehicles”; barricades were placed near Trump Tower.

Protesters are ready to show their feelings, and their messages.

Some were so simple yet powerful.

The Secret service with binoculars, the NYPD, surveillance cameras and more…were watching protesters.
What caught my attention were protesters without written signs.

Teardrops of ‘stars and stripes.’
Later, when it got closer to Trump’s arrival security got tighter.

Somehow the NYPD managed to separate protesters. Across from Trump Tower very few people remained. More sand-filled trucks and “blocker vehicles” were brought. Some people were trying to stand on the barricades to see if Trump arrived.
“All I see is some black cars,” they said.
