A group of Donald Trump supporters emblazoned their delight at his inauguration across the Sydney skyline on Saturday, paying a skywriting company to write the new President's name among the clouds.
The letters T-R-U-M-P appeared in the sky just as thousands of women took to the CBD streets to protest against the Trump presidency.

Thousands protest Trump at Sydney 'sister march'
Protestors march in Sydney on Saturday afternoon' at one of the hundreds of womens' marches planned around the world in a show of disapproval of US President Donald Trump as he began his first day in office.
Pilot Rob Vance etched out the new President's name twice from 12.30pm. He said those who commissioned the stunt wished to remain anonymous as they feared a backlash.
"They were Trump supporters," Mr Vance, of Skywriting Australia, said. "I can tell you that.
"It was OK with me. He did win the election, so half of the people must have voted for him."
Mr Vance said the skywriting piece set his clients back $3,990.
The letters were written at  an altitude of 4500 metres, using smoke emitted by Mr Vance's Cessna. Each letter was 500 metres tall.
People from Redfern to Kogorah shared pictures of the giant text on social media.Â

Mr Vance said the period of time the letters remain readable is dependant on the weather. "They usually can be seen for 10-20 minutes, but when it's hotter it's shorter. And It was really hot up there today."
A small consolation, perhaps, for those in Sydney who are not celebrating the US presidency. Â
