There have been major demos, in the US. And also in London. Trump may be BUSINESSMAN. But he is not an experience politician.
Major Demos ? Where ? There were mindless Anarchists, smashing windows and damaging property and protesting that Trump will destroy the World but they were destroying regular peoples property in their own country. Mindless morons.

The biggest trouble is that, as he is a billionaire. He can buy everything. NOW he has to biggest coup going - the President of America
But if he does what he says and creates jobs, being a billionaire matters because you're not?

And what l have to laugh at. Did you see the amount of crowd there was, compared to Obama.
Yeah I saw the crowd, was not as big as Obama's but you have to consider a multitude of reasons why. 63 Million Americans voted for him but they all could not descend on to Washington to go support him, not only that, Washington is heavily Democratic, so the crowds would have been larger for Obama for this reason alone, plus it was more historic given he was the first Black President to have been Elected, the support clearly evaporated for him at his second term Inauguration.

Inauguration estimates for former Presidents.

President Bill Clinton, 1993: 800,000 people
President Bill Clinton, 1997: 250,000 people
President George W. Bush, 2001: 300,000 people
President George W. Bush, 2005: 400,000 people
President Barack Obama, 2009: 1.8 million people
President Barack Obama, 2013: 1 million people

Lyndon B. Johnson held the previous Record for 1.2 million.

Between 700,000 - 900,000 were expected at Trumps Inauguration and from the later photos and live footage taken during him taking the Oath of Office reflect, he still had a significant gathering but there are misleading memes being put out showing hardly any crowds, I guess anyone can take a picture hours before the event begins.
