Millions and millions of equality-driven individuals stood together for the Women’s March across the globe in protest against the inauguration of Donald Trump.
The man who has courted controversy as diverse in range as any one politician has done before sparked the biggest protest in US history.

He’s just a young guy, reciting some Bieber lyrics, OK…? Among all the puns were plenty of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Mean Girls and Game of Thrones related signs.
Some people took a different approach and spoke directly to Melania…

There were plenty of signs mocking the President’s ‘tiny little hands’…
But finally, just a little fact to bear in mind…
