Thousands of Americans protested across the country<\/strong> on Saturday, voicing anger at the Trump administration<\/strong> during \u201cNo Kings\u201d demonstrations<\/strong>. Over 2,600 rallies<\/strong> took place nationwide, drawing massive crowds in Washington, New York, Chicago, and Boston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Times Square<\/strong> and Washington, D.C.<\/strong>, protesters gathered before noon, chanting \u201cTrump must go now!\u201d<\/strong> and waving colorful and profane signs. Demonstrators condemned the president\u2019s immigration policies and accused him of abusing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs read \u201cNothing is more patriotic than protesting\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cResist Fascism.\u201d<\/strong> Many rallies resembled festivals, with marching bands<\/strong>, giant Constitution banners<\/strong>, and even protesters in frog costumes<\/strong>\u2014a symbol of resistance in Portland, Oregon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protests marked the third mass mobilization<\/strong> since Trump\u2019s return to the White House<\/strong> and came amid a government shutdown<\/strong> that has strained relations between the executive branch, Congress, and the courts<\/strong>. Organizers warned that Trump\u2019s leadership reflected a drift toward authoritarianism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump Dismisses Protests While Opposition Leaders Join the Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Republicans dismissed the rallies as \u201cHate America\u201d demonstrations<\/strong>, but protesters framed them as a defense of democracy and accountability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to Fox News<\/strong> before traveling to Mar-a-Lago<\/strong>, Trump rejected claims of authoritarian behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThey say they\u2019re calling me a king. I\u2019m not a king,\u201d Trump said before attending a $1 million-per-plate fundraiser<\/strong> at his Florida club.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Protests also occurred near his Palm Beach estate<\/strong>, with demonstrators demanding transparency and restraint from the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike previous protests\u2014such as those against Elon Musk\u2019s layoffs<\/strong> and Trump\u2019s military parade<\/strong>\u2014organizers said this weekend\u2019s action had united the opposition<\/strong> more strongly than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prominent politicians including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/strong> and Senator Bernie Sanders<\/strong> joined rallies, urging citizens to protect free speech<\/strong> and resist militarized immigration raids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere is no greater threat to tyranny than patriotic people-power,\u201d said Ezra Levin<\/strong>, co-founder of Indivisible<\/strong>, one of the main organizing groups.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Solidarity protests also erupted across Europe<\/strong>, where hundreds of U.S. citizens abroad<\/strong> joined demonstrations supporting the \u201cNo Kings\u201d movement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Madrid<\/strong>, participants held banners reading \u201cNo Kings,\u201d \u201cNo Oligarchs,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cNo Fascism.\u201d<\/strong> The event, organized by Democrats Abroad<\/strong>, drew several hundred attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Helsinki<\/strong>, protesters criticized America\u2019s global image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMy European friends won\u2019t visit the U.S. now because they fear what could happen,\u201d said one demonstrator. \u201cThe U.S. has isolated itself, and that\u2019s because of this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other placards read \u201cNo Faux-king Way,\u201d \u201cNo Kings Except Bad Bunny,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cTrump, Stop Humping Putin\u2019s Leg Like a Dog.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
