"Saturday marked the biggest day of protest since the start of Donald Trumps' second term. Organizers of the No Kings protests estimated that over seven million people took to the streets to declare their opposition to the president, his policies, and his tactics. Indivisible, the group behind the protests, claims that there were over 2,700 events in all 50 states."
"The response from the President and his administration was to post a bunch of AI slop on social media, including one in which the president drops what appears to be feces on protesters from a fighter jet. Perhaps most telling is that in multiple videos and images, Donald Trump is explicitly referred to as King Trump and pictured wearing a crown, including one image posted by the official White House X account. It appears that the administration is putting aside pretense at this point."
Organizers estimated over seven million people participated in No Kings protests across all 50 states, with over 2,700 events according to Indivisible. Attendance increased from roughly five million at 2,000 events in June, suggesting growing opposition to the president. Several individual events exceeded 100,000 participants, with Chicago estimated at 250,000. Chicago's large turnout followed an administration immigration crackdown that produced high-profile ICE incidents. The administration responded by posting AI-generated imagery on social media, including depictions of the president dropping what appears to be feces on protesters. Multiple videos and images labeled him 'King Trump' and showed him wearing a crown, including a post from the official White House X account.
