Protesters have built a cardboard wall outside the US embassy in Mexico City, with an effigy of Donald Trump on top which was pulled down and set on fire.

The demonstration was in protest at the Presidents plans to build a wall between the two countries, which Mr Trump has vowed will go ahead.

During the election campaign he described Mexican migrants as rapists and murderers, sparking outrage in the neighbouring country.

The action in the Mexican capital came as hundreds of thousands of women took part in anti-Trump marches around the world.

Crowds of Mexican’s took part in the protest which took place in Mexico City on Friday, the day of President Trump’s inauguration.

President Trump remains loyal to building a wall along the Mexican border, which he promised would be paid for by the Mexican’s in the lead up to the US election.

Some Mexican’s were outraged by the election victory of billionaire Mr Trump and made their displeasure clear as they burned two effigies of him.

In the footage the demonstrators can be seen setting fire to the effigies of Mr Trump before they set one on fire and pulled it up a flag poll.

2. How long until they start tearing down the wall?

Guess we won't see Trump traveling to Mexican again anytime soon.

I wonder if any foreign country will lay out the welcome mat for him, other than his pal, Putin.

7. I wish Vicente Fox could run again.

Mexican Presidents get a single six year term.

So no, let's not go there just because he tells Trump to piss off.
