"President Donald Trump struck a dismissive and threatening tone over No Kings protests that took place on Saturday, suggesting that he may use federal resources to investigate the demonstrations."
""I'm not a king. I work my ass off to make our country great. That's all it is. I'm not a king at all," Trump said, adding that he thought the protests were "a joke." Trump elaborated by saying he "looked at the people" who had taken part in protests, and that "they're not representative of the country.""
Around six in ten Americans report dissatisfaction with the current state of democracy. Over 7 million people participated in No Kings protests at more than 2,600 U.S. locations, surpassing the June demonstrations by about 2 million and ranking among the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S. history. President Donald Trump condemned the protests, called them "a joke," insisted he is not a king, characterized attendees as "not representative" and "whacked out," suggested outside funding by billionaire George Soros, and indicated that federal resources may be used to investigate the demonstrations.
