U.S. Citizens Protest Trump’s Policies; Republicans Condemn March as “Anti-American” | WPN World People News

Following similar events in June 2025, all 50 U.S. states once again erupted in anti-Trump “No King Day” demonstrations on the 18th. Over 2,600 marches were held nationwide, with millions taking to the streets of major cities including Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, and Seattle to express discontent over the administration’s handling of the rule of law, human rights, and immigration policies. The Republican Party blamed the protests on far-left group Antifa, condemning them as “anti-American gatherings.”

In New York City, the largest in the country, participation reached an estimated 100,000 people, with around 20,000 crowding the area around Times Square and Seventh Avenue alone. From early morning, the streets and subway entrances were filled with demonstrators holding signs and chanting slogans such as “Democracy is not a monarchy” and “The Constitution is not optional.” The scene was filled with creative posters and costumes, including caricatures depicting Trump as a Soviet leader, mocking his alleged authoritarian tendencies.

Similar scenes unfolded in Boston, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, Seattle, and Los Angeles. Protesters focused on issues such as alleged illegal detentions by immigration enforcement agencies, federal National Guard interference in local affairs, cuts to healthcare subsidies, and the potential consequences of recent redistricting efforts.

Meanwhile, Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, attending a MAGA fundraising gala reportedly priced at $1 million per table. In an interview with Fox Business, he remarked, “They say I’m a king — but I’m not.” However, just hours after the protests began, he posted an AI-generated video on his social media platform depicting himself wearing a crown, piloting a fighter jet, and dropping excrement on protesters — a move that quickly sparked a fresh wave of controversy.
