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. That’s a sizable increase from the roughly five million protesters at 2,000 events it claimed for its June No Kings day, signalling that opposition to the president may be growing.

Several individual events topped 100,000 participants, including Twin Cities, New York City, and Chicago, which was estimated to have 250,000 people. That Chicago would have one of the largest turnouts in the country is hardly surprising given the administration’s recent immigration crackdown in the city, which has led to several high-profile incidents involving ICE agents.

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.
