Millions took to the streets nationwide in coordinated ‘No Kings’ protests, estimated by organizers at over seven million participants. The demonstrations, orchestrated by Indivisible, spanned all 50 states with over 2,700 individual events. Protesters voiced their strong opposition to the President’s policies and overall approach to governance. This wave of dissent follows previous demonstrations in June, suggesting a growing momentum against the current administration.
The protests were further ignited by a controversial response from the President and his administration. In a move widely criticized, the administration posted AI-generated content on social media. This content depicted the President, explicitly referred to as ‘King Trump,’ in a fighter jet dropping what appeared to be excrement on protesters below. The incident has drawn widespread condemnation and further fueled the ‘No Kings’ movement, amplifying concerns about the President’s leadership and use of inflammatory rhetoric.
