HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Demonstrations against the current presidential administration swept across Hawaii today as apart of a nationwide demonstration on April 5. The largest crowd was at the Hawaii State Capitol. Are there benefits to Trump’s tariffs? The Hands Off protest took place across all 50 states today, with thousands turning out to Hawaii's State Capitol in support. "All you got to do here is read the signs and you're going to find out what's upsetting people. We've got veterans here. We've got people who are frightened about losing their Social Security," said Indivisible Hawaii Statewide Network group leader Lisa Gibson. "That's what the 'hands off' means. Hands off, Hands off the United States of America! Hands off my country and your country." There were protests on every island, with over 1,000 demonstrators turning out in Hilo.

It's not just people whose retirement accounts are in danger. Right now. It's affecting us all. So we're here," said Tantalus resident Miles Phillips. KHON2 asked a Waikiki elementary student, what brought them out? "I hate him," Vaughn, the student, said. "I don't know, like the things that he did like to people that work for them, he fires them for no reason." Tariffs: What do Trump’s executive orders say and how would they work? Top-of-mind issues include cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Department of Veterans Affairs, but those in support of the current administration said the protestors have been misled. "The American people said, 'we want change.' They elected Donald Trump and what's happening is change, change isn't always easy, people are so used to going the same way, but when change happens, it throws things off. But what's needed here is course correction," said Rep. Diamond Garcia. Those in attendance insist their resolve is strong and they will keep turning out as long as President Trump is in office. "I think there's another one that's going to happen on May 1 because this isn't going away. More people are going to get hurt. And we are the bulwark, the citizens. That's what democracy is all about," Gibson said. Get news on the go with KHON 2GO, KHON's morning podcast, every morning at 8 Click here to read more about the 2024 GOP Platform.
