PRINCETON, W.Va. -Community members gathered at the Mercer County Courthouse today as a way to stand up against President Donald trump.

Protesters say they’re specifically protesting issues like recent tariffs put into place by Trump, a down stock market, as well as concerns relating to cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Other protesters held signs in support of Ukraine and to stop Elon Musk’s Department Of Government Efficiency from making changes within the government.

“You know it’s mostly the economic things that are going to affect the poor people and the old people and the middle-class people. He’s putting tariffs on everything, so the union guys are going to be out of work, the automobile industry is going to close down because of the stupid tariffs on Mexico.”

The group says they expect similar protests to begin taking place all over the state.
