Protests erupted outside of Trump Tower for a second night Thursday, although the crowd was smaller than the night before and the NYPD confirming that only one person was placed under arrest. Lori Chung filed the following report.

Outside Trump Tower, demonstrators sent a message they hope the president elect hears loud and clear.

"We reject the president-elect," they chanted.

"He's hateful and he's a bigot, and he's not going to be my president," said one demonstrator.

Harsh words for Donald Trump from the hundreds lining Fifth Avenue outside his residence.

"The man that has given the alt-right and racial politics a voice in the United States of America lives right in that tower," said one demonstrator.

The protesters rejected his Election Day success and his rhetoric.

"All the Latinos work so hard for this country and we are called rapists," said one demonstrator. "It's such an insult."

"There's been plenty of times when elections didn't turn out the way that you wanted them, you know, Republican, Democrat, it swings, and I'm OK with that. But this is like a different level."

There were also messages of outrage and anger at the election results in Union Square and Washington Square Park. 

"I don't want us to have a president that tells people that to grab them by the p word," said one demonstrator.

The billionaire businessman shared his thoughts on the post-election unrest in a tweet Thursday night and again Friday morning.

"The media's not putting us up to anything," one demonstrator said. "Everybody's, we're terrified."

Some watching the protests unfold throughout the city urge participants to keep an open mind.

"I'm willing to give Trump a chance," said one New Yorker. "I think we should heal the wounds. This country's very divided. I think we should come together."

Some protestors used these demonstrations as an opportunity to raise support for a petition to the Electoral College hoping to convince electors to swing their support to Hillary Clinton, because she leads in the popular vote.
