Protests broke out in cities including Denver, Colorado

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.
However police in Portland said they were
dealing with vandalism and aggressive
behaviour.

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.

Crowds of protesters gathered in cities across the US on Thursday

evening.
Police in Portland, Oregon said the protest there should be
considered a riot, with shop windows being broken, some
demonstrators carrying bats and others arming themselves with
rocks.
There were no reports of violence at the other protests, although
demonstrators in Minneapolis briefly blocked an interstate highway
in both directions.
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. In San Francisco high school
students waved rainbow banners and Mexican flags.

Trump and Obama play nice, but it wasn't always so

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".

International overtures
Meanwhile Mexico's president said he was optimistic his country
could have a positive relationship with the US under Mr Trump,
despite his anti-Mexican rhetoric during the campaign.
Enrique Pena Nieto said he and Trump had agreed to meet, possibly
during the transition period before Mr Trump's inauguration in
January.

In Russia, President Putin's spokesman said Mr Trump and Mr Putin

were "very much alike" in how they see the world.
Dmitry Peskov said Russian experts had been in contact with some
members of Mr Trump's staff during the campaign.
But he said the Russian government had nothing to do with the theft
of emails from the Democratic campaign that were later published by
the transparency organisation Wikileaks.

'Excellent' conversation
Earlier Mr Trump said it was a "great honour" to meet President
Obama for transition talks at the White House.
Mr Obama said his priority was to "facilitate a transition that ensures
our president-elect is successful".

During the campaign he called Mr Trump "uniquely unqualified" to be

president.
The president-elect was accompanied by his wife, Melania, who had
a meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Mr Trump later tweeted that he had had "great chemistry" with Mr
Obama, while his wife "liked Mrs O a lot".

He and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence then met Republican House
Speaker Paul Ryan, saying they "can't get started fast enough,
whether it's healthcare or immigration".
Mr Ryan described it as a "fantastic, productive meeting".

With the Republicans now holding a majority in both chambers of

the US Congress, Mr Trump can more easily target key Obama
initiatives such as his healthcare reforms.
The president-elect's transition team for the 10-week period until
inauguration will be led by Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey.

Mr Trump, who has never held elected office, has said his immediate
priorities will be restoring the country's infrastructure and doubling its
economic growth.
His team is understood to be focused on quickly filling key national
security posts.
It is not yet clear who will sit his cabinet or fill senior posts in his
administration, such as chief of staff, but several figures in his
inner circle have been mentioned.
