Alec Baldwin has carried out his Donald Trump impression as he was joined by several A-list celebrities at protests in New York and Washington on the eve of the incoming Republican president's inauguration.

Hollywood stars joined several thousand protesters on the streets of New York near the Trump International Hotel on Thursday night to protest against the president-elect.

Baldwin, who repeatedly parodies Trump on 'Saturday Night Live' much to the Twitter drubbings of the president-elect, took to the podium to do his impression.

'I just want to say, I've been standing out here in the freezing cold for a long time. I have to go to the bathroom - I have to pee,' he said impersonating Trump.

'But I'm holding it in, holding it in. I'm not going to pee. I'm going to a function at the Russian consulate tonight; I'm going to hold it in until I get there. And then when I get to the Russian consulate, I'm going to have a really, really long pee. Like the biggest pee I've ever had in my lifetime.'

'Are we going to have 100 days of resistance?' he said, revving up the crowd and switching to his regular voice. 'Fantastic!' he hollered.

'These people are a disgrace, but there is hope. Trump and Pence think you're going to lay down. That's one thing about New Yorkers: You don't lay down.'

Baldwin was joined by Hollywood actors Robert de Niro and Mark Ruffalo, Oscar-winning director Michael Moore and singer Cher as the noisy crowd thronged Columbus Circle and Central Park West.

Robert de Niro was the first to take to the podium as he read mean tweets about Trump before saying he was a 'bad example of this country and this city'

Director Michael Moore said it is a 'very dangerous' time in the United States and even called Trump a 'sociopath' on the eve of his inauguration

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, issued a cry for progressive politics and urged Americans across the country to rise up and make their objections to the incoming administration heard

De Niro was the first to take to the podium as he read mean tweets about Trump before saying he was a 'bad example of this country and this city'.

'Fight Trump every day' and 'justice and civil rights for all' read placards at the rally in the president-elect's hometown, where a majority of people voted for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in last year's election.

'He does not rule with a mandate,' Moore said in reference to Clinton's win of the popular vote and Americans who voted for independent candidates.

'We are the majority. Don't give up. I won't give up,' he said.

Protesters also gathered outside Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. on Thursday night with police apparently clashing with the crowd

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, issued a rallying cry for progressive politics and urged Americans across the country to rise up and make their objections to the incoming administration heard.

'Donald Trump always liked to say he built a movement, well now it's time for us to build our movement and that starts tonight and it's all over the country, tonight, tomorrow and in the days to come,' de Blasio said.

He championed universal healthcare, protecting the world from climate change and preserving rights gained under the outgoing Barack Obama administration.

'Look at the thousands here tonight and that is only the beginning,' he said.

Protesters also gathered outside Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. on Thursday night before marching to the National Press Club several blocks away where police apparently clashed with the crowd.

Washington has turned into a virtual fortress ahead of the inauguration. Police cars lined much of Pennsylvania Avenue - the parade route - as workers unloaded crowd control fences from flatbed trucks, erected barricades and marked off pavement with tape.

About 28,000 security personnel, miles of fencing, roadblocks, street barricades and dump trucks laden with sand are part of the security cordon around 3 square miles of central Washington.

A protest group known as Disrupt J20 has vowed to stage demonstrations at each of 12 security checkpoints and block access to the festivities on the grassy National Mall.

Police and security officials have pledged repeatedly to guarantee protesters' constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly.
