While flying back to Washington, D.C. from Florida on Air Force One, the world leader ranted to reporters about the public demonstrations. “I’m not a king,” he stated, per The Hill. “I work my ass off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all.”
President Trump further dimissed the “No Kings” protests by referring to them as a “joke.”
“I think it’s a joke. I look at the people – they’re not representative of the country,” he said. “And I looked at all the brand new signs… I guess it was paid for by [George] Soros and other radical left lunatics. It looks like it was. We’re checking it out.”
Trump then said that the demonstrations were “very small, very ineffective” and the people who participated were “whacked out.”
“When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country,” he repeated.
Millions of people reportedly gathered at approximately 2,600 “No Kings” protests, which took place in all 50 states on Saturday.
President Trump also made his opinon about the “No Kings” clear by posting an AI video of himelf in a “King Trump” jet dropping brown liquid matter on protesters in what looked like New York City. Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” played in the background of the video.
