More than 7 million people took part in protests on Saturday under the slogan “No Kings” against the policies of the administration of US President Donald Trump, the organizers said. These are some of the largest demonstrations in US history, the Washington Post wrote on Monday.
Approximately 2.7 thousand events took place on Saturday under the common slogan “No Kings”. events in all states and in Washington, DC. According to “WP”, the mass nature of the action is an expression of strong political polarization under Trump's government.
As Axios wrote, citing preliminary data from experts from American University, the typical person protesting in the District of Columbia is a white, educated woman around 40 years old. Almost 90 percent respondents identify with the left. The main reasons given for participating in the protest were opposition to Trump (80%) and issues related to immigration policy (74%).
The majority of study participants admitted to feeling angry, anxious and sad about politics and everything associated with it.
According to the Harvard Kennedy School, protests in 2025 will cover more of the United States than ever before in the country's history.
Massive “No Kings” protests first took place in mid-June. Then about 5 million people took to the streets. The increase in the number of protesters can be interpreted as a warning to Trump that support for his program is weakening, said “WP” on Monday.
In response to the protests on Saturday evening, the president published on social media a recording generated by artificial intelligence in which he himself, wearing a crown on his head, throws feces at protesters and flies a plane with the words “King Trump” written on it.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, commenting on the video, said the president was “using satire to make a point.” – He does not call for the killing of his political opponents – he emphasized.
