Trump was reportedly inside the tower, joined by Brexiteer Nigel Farage, who had arrived from the United Kingdom to celebrate Trump's victory. Security staff occasionally emerged on balconies and took selfies with the hoard of protesters behind them. A law enforcement official told NBC News that, at its peak, the protest drew approximately 25,000 participants.
