This level of public response is consistent with previous petitions against Trump's visits, which have attracted hundreds of thousands or even millions of signatures in past years. The context includes political tensions surrounding Trump’s policies and actions, which motivated public opposition. There is no evidence contradicting the claim about the number of signatures or the petition's existence.

Therefore, the claim is supported by multiple credible sources and is factually correct.
