<h2>No Kings protest</h2>The recent "No Kings" saw seven million people participate — an increase of two million from the first round of rallies in June. Protesters from more than 2,700 cities and towns turned up to voice opposition to Trump’s administration and policies.Despite the massive turnout, police described the demonstrations as largely peaceful, with no major incidents or arrests reported. In Chicago, the epicentre of Trump’s immigration crackdown, demonstrators waved upside-down American flags alongside Mexican and Pride flags, carrying homemade signs and "Hands Off Chicago" posters. Los Angeles saw participants dressed in inflatable costumes waving American flags, while in Washington, DC, federal employees and former staffers marched along Pennsylvania Avenue on Day 18 of the ongoing government shutdown, calling for calmer political rhetoric.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-ridiculous-question-trump-dodges-question-on-whether-he-ordered-cia-to-take-out-maduro-1760590458951">‘Ridiculous question’: Trump dodges question on whether he ordered CIA to 'take out' Maduro</a>The protests arrive at a politically fraught moment. A federal government shutdown continues to paralyse parts of the administration, and partisan deadlock in Congress over funding bills has fueled public frustration. Democratic leaders have broadly voiced support for the rallies, framing them as a democratic response to authoritarian tendencies, while many Republican lawmakers dismissed the protests as anti-American.&nbsp;&nbsp;

‘King Trump’: Trump shares AI-generated video mocking protestors amid ‘No Kings’ protests

Hundreds of thousands of people hit the roads in protests against President Donald Trump in more than 2,500 rallies organised coast-to-coast across the US on Saturday. Crowds crammed Times Square for the event organised by No Kings, a coalition of left-leaning groups. Demonstrations under the banner in June attracted over five million people nationwide. Trump allies are accusing the protesters of being allied with the far-left Antifa movement and condemned the protest as “the hate America rally”. Republican governors in several US states even placed National Guard troops on standby. The protest organisers say the gathering will challenge Trump’s “authoritarianism”.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

That’s what they want to do. They’re afraid of the truth,” he wrote on X.&nbsp;Since taking office, Trump has accelerated immigration crackdowns, threatened to cut federal funding for universities over pro-Palestinian protests and diversity policies, and authorised the deployment of National Guard troops in several states.
