‘No Kings’ Protests Draw Massive Crowds as Washington Officials Condemn Demonstrations as ‘Anti-American
Massive crowds gathered in Washington, D.C., for the “No Kings” protests, denouncing President Donald Trump’s leadership and warning against what demonstrators called growing authoritarianism. The protests, marked by chants and banners defending democracy, drew sharp criticism from government officials, who labeled the demonstrations “anti-American.” Organizers, however, said the rallies were a call to uphold constitutional values and reject any return to political dynasties or unchecked executive power.
