The country descends into tyranny as America refuses to accept their new president.
By Zaima Khaliq
After one of the most publicised elections the world has ever seen, hysteria has broken out across the America.
As Donald Trump assumes his position as the 45th President of the US, legions of people have taken to the streets in protest of his lewd remarks and fascist claims.
As well as civil unrest, the ripples of one of the most politically controversial presidential candidacies has spread overseas with people rallying across the globe for the human rights.
Asian World looks into what has ensued during his first fortnight in power.
1. Inauguration Crowds Underwhelm
Trump supp
orters let down the President on inauguration day, when the estimates swarm of 1.5 million failed to show.
Attendance as the ceremony on the 20th of January was abysmally low, causing a media frenzy with people comparing Trumps sparse crowd to the 1.8 million supporters who turned up to see Obama in 2009.
Trump boasted earlier in the month: “We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record setting turn-out, for the inauguration, and there will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars.”
However, photos taken just prior to the swearing-in ceremony showed large portions of tarp exposed, with almost no one standing near the Washington Monument.
In a bid to ensure he had the final say, Trump instructed Press Secretary Sean Spicer to hold an impromptu news conference the following day, where he made a series of questionable claims
He demanded that Trump had attracted the biggest audience to “ever witness an inauguration both in person and around the globe.”
With illusive photographic evidence, he failed to win over the media.
2. Women of the World Unite
Thousands of 
protesters took to the streets of Washington and all around the globe as part of an international campaign on the first full day of Donald Trump’s presidency, speaking out as an opposition force the day after Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president.
America was plunged head first into patriarchy as President Trump began meddling with laws surrounding abortion and work equality
The Women’s March, held in response to misogynistic comments made by the newly sworn president, saw women from around America and worldwide gather in swarms
The Women’s March also drew far more star power than Trump’s inauguration, which wasn’t able to attract any big-name performers. The women’s advocates included the likes of Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson and Madonna, who addressed the crowd with a public speech.
She said: “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House, but I know this won’t change anything.”
3. Trump Takes Action!
President Donald Trump issued an executive order for an “impassable physical barrier” to be built along the US border with Mexico. As well as signing an action to strip funds from US cities that are harbouring grounds for illegal immigrants from the neighbouring country.
During an interview, Trump stated that Mexico would “absolutely, 100%” reimburse the US for his wall, as the decision lies with congress to approve the estimated billion-dollar structure.
During the election period, Trump highly emphasised the need for more border security on the Southern US border.
“A nation without borders is not a nation,” he said. “Beginning today the United States gets back control of its borders.”
As well as monitoring the neighbouring countries, Trump enforced an immigration restriction from 7 majority Muslim countries, including Somalia, Iran, Iraq and Syria.
“For years the media has largely ignored the stories of Americans and lawful residents victimised by open borders,” he added.
However, the rash decision made by the US president had major repercussions, leaving hundreds of people detained in airports across the country.
Olympic gold-medallist Mo Farah spoke out on how the ban affected him and his family while training in Ethiopia.
“I am a British citizen who has lived in America for the past six years – working hard, contributing to society, paying my taxes and bringing up our four children in the place they now call home.
“Now, me and many others like me are being told that we may not be welcome. It’s deeply troubling that I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home – to explain why the President has introduced a policy that comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice.
“The Queen made me a knight, Trump made me an alien.”
4. Muslims Unite against Trump Ban
After news spread of Trumps “Muslim ban”, crowds gathered at airports as individual stories emerged of people who were directly affected by travel ban.
Trump explained the ban was a bid to “keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US” but the excluded countries did not include Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other nations from which attackers in the US have detained.
Thousands of protesters gathered at airports around the U.S. to support travellers in defiance of Trump’s order, which prevented refugees and those holding passports from certain Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.as well as legal permanent residents of the US who were returning from the countries in question.
Protesters welcomed people with cheers and signs of support as they were finally allowed into the country. Chants of ‘NO HATE, NO FEAR, REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE,’ resounded from airports as unity overcome Trumps divisive measures.
Despite his efforts, Trumps ban was over ruled by Judge Robart who called for the government to immediately stop the ban nationwide after he found “no support” for claims the ban protects the US.
Within hours, government officials had told airlines to begin allowing previously barred passengers to fly, although confusion still reigned among many authorities, embassies and airlines
Mr Trump claimed the ruling would mean people “with bad intentions” could enter the US.
“What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into US?” he tweeted.
5. Britain’s Ban Trump
Protesters chant ‘Theresa May, shame on you’ and ‘Donald Trump is not welcome here’ as they descend upon Downing Street.
MP’s are set to debate the notion of banning Trump from the UK after a petition calling on the government to prevent him from making a state visit has received over a staggering 1.8 million signatures.
Scores of people again took to the streets in a huge nationwide protest, to stand in solidarity with those who had been isolated within their own country, and those who had been rejected after seeking refuse in America.
Conservative British Prime Minister Theresa May, has been hugely criticised after her trip to Washington to meet the president where she confirmed plans for a return visit by Mr. Trump to Britain in the summer.
As protests took place in cities across, Prime Minister Theresa May said: “The United States is a close ally of the United Kingdom. We work together across many areas of mutual interest and we have that special relationship between us. I have issued that invitation for a state visit for President Trump to the United Kingdom and that invitation stands.”
Parliament has previously debated whether Trump was welcome on British soil after he called during the presidential race for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.
