No Kings Protests Draw Millions Across US Amid Controversial AI Response from Trump

Millions of Americans participated in the nationwide "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump's perceived authoritarianism, with over 2,600 demonstrations held across all 50 states. Trump dismissed the protests as a joke and accused wealthy Democratic donors like George Soros of funding the events, claiming the protesters were not representative of the country. In response to the protests, Trump's communications team released an AI-generated video depicting him as "King Trump" piloting a fighter jet and dropping feces on the demonstrators, which drew widespread criticism and ridicule, including from political opponents like Hillary Clinton. The protests were marked by calls for political accountability, but a viral video of a protester wishing for Trump's death sparked outrage and overshadowed much of the peaceful dissent. Social media reactions to both the video and Trump's AI response highlighted the deep divisions and intense emotions surrounding the current political climate. Additionally, Trump escalated tensions internationally by cutting U.S. aid to Colombia and accusing its president of enabling drug production, intensifying diplomatic strain.
