Over the weekend, more than 7 million Americans participated in over 2,700 ‘No Kings’ rallies across all 50 states and abroad, protesting President Donald Trump’s policies including government shutdowns and immigration crackdowns as threats to democracy.
The events, described by organizers as the largest single-day political mobilization in U.S. history, remained largely peaceful with chants for First Amendment protections and involvement from figures like Senator Cory Booker and actor Pedro Pascal.
Trump dismissed the protests as small and ineffective, announced an investigation into alleged George Soros funding, which organizers denied.
In an interview aboard Air Force One the president opined: “By the way, I’m not a KING. I work my A*S OFF to make our country great. That’s all it is.
“It’s a joke. I looked at the people…all the brand new signs.
“It was paid for by Soros and radical left lunatics…we’re checking that out. Very small, ineffective, and the people were WHACKED OUT. Not representative of the people of our country.” Trump added.
