No Kings Posters, Trump’s AI Video and America’s Waning Civility

Nearly 7 million people joined more than 2,700 protests nationwide opposing Trump's perceived authoritarianism and self-depiction as a king, organizers reported.

  • On Saturday, nearly seven million people joined No Kings protests across the United States, with organizers reporting more than 2,700 events in 50 states.
  • After viral AI posts, President Donald Trump shared AI-generated videos depicting himself as a king, and a White House image calling Trump a king helped inspire the No Kings protests.
  • Responding on Air Force One, Trump called the rallies `a joke` and protesters unrepresentative, while aides claimed some signs were paid for by George Soros and labeled the protests `very small` and `very ineffective`.
  • Social-Media activity showed Team Trump trolling protests with AI king memes, which observers said both undermined monarchy concerns and trivialized protesters' serious claims.
  • Broadly, critics link Trump’s tactics to executive power and propaganda to silence opponents, while commentators warn this advances a strongman appeal for some voters.
