A top Trump Organization official on Thursday urged protesters displeased with President-elect Donald Trump’s win earlier this week to give Mr. Trump a chance before writing him off.
“I would say to the protesters: Please give him a chance. Wait to see before you make your decision,” Michael Cohen, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and special counsel to Mr. Trump, said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“The American people have decided. That’s our democracy,” he said. “What are you protesting? It just doesn’t make sense. Let him be the man that I know that he can be, and he’ll prove himself.”
A number of anti-Trump protests broke out across the country on Wednesday, including outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan. The protests resulted in at least 124 arrests and there were reports of damage, vandalism and injuries in several locations, according to ABC News.
