      It's been an Inauguration Day unlike any other in recent U.S. history.

      Vehicles have been set on fire and, according to Reuters, more than 200 people have been arrested in Washington, D.C.

      It came a day after a major protest outside the Trump Tower in New York City, which included many celebrities.

      Among them was Alec Baldwin, who has been impersonating Trump repeatedly on Saturday Night Live.

      In Los Angeles, protesters mocked the thin-skinned president by marching through the streets with satirical blow-up dolls.

      Crowds are also out demonstrating in Seattle, Chicago, and numerous other cities.

      In Portland, there's an angry mood over Trump's ascension to the presidency.
