Protests have been held for a second night in several US cities after the election of Donald Trump as president – but with smaller crowds.
They were mainly young people saying a Trump presidency would create deep divisions along racial and gender lines.
In response, Mr Trump tweeted that the protests were “very unfair”.
Earlier, he met President Barack Obama at the White House and described him as a good man.
However a BBC correspondent says that despite their cordiality, Mr Trump is intent on dismantling much of President Obama’s legacy. That includes Obamacare, the act extending medical insurance to more Americans than ever before.
@REALDONALDTRUMPProtesters gathered in cities including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Portland, Dallas and Grand Rapids, Michigan on Thursday evening.
In Philadelphia crowds gathered near City Hall holding placards bearing slogans such as “Not Our President”, “Trans Against Trump” and “Make America Safe For All”.
In Baltimore, police said a peaceful crowd of 600 people marched through the city, blocking traffic. Protesters in Minneapolis briefly blocked an interstate highway in both directions. In San Francisco high school students waved rainbow banners and Mexican flags.
A small crowd also gathered outside Trump Tower in Chicago, a day after thousands marched through the city centre. Some passers-by cheered them but at least one driver shouted that they should “shut up and accept democracy”, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Protesters also returned to Trump Tower in New York for a second night.
In his tweet Mr Trump described them as “professional protesters” and said they had been “incited by the media”.
