President Trump arrives at the Intrepid to boos from protesters and chants of "New York hates you!"

Protesters took to the streets in New York on Thursday evening as President Trump returned to his home state for the first time since his inauguration more than three months ago.

"This crowd, although not that big, got very loud," NBC News's Stephanie Gosk reported on MSNBC's "Hardball."

"We're in the hundreds here, probably started around a thousand," she said.

Demonstrators were gathering near the decommissioned USS Intrepid aircraft carrier on Manhattan's West Side, where Trump was slated to speak Thursday evening.

Trump is speaking at the Intrepid museum to honor the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea, during which the U.S. and Australian forces fought together against the Japanese in World War II.
