Trump shares AI videos depicting himself as 'King' amid 'No Kings' protests across US

Amid massive “No Kings” protests sweeping across the United States, President Donald Trump has responded with both words and visuals, insisting he is “not a king” while posting AI-generated videos portraying himself as one.

“They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump told Fox Business, before adding that Democrats “could stay out of government forever” so he could continue cutting what he called “Democrat priorities,” including welfare programs.

Hours later, the president posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social showing himself wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet that drops feces on anti-Trump protesters, including Democratic activist Harry Sisson.

Another clip, shared by Vice President JD Vance, depicted Trump donning a crown and cape as Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi kneel before him.

Trump spent the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as protests unfolded nationwide.

‘No Kings’ protests sweep across US

According to organizers, more than 2,500 rallies took place across the country, condemning what demonstrators called a rapid slide into authoritarianism under Trump’s leadership.

Crowds filled the streets in Washington, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other cities, holding signs that read “Nothing is more patriotic than protesting” and “Resist Fascism.”

In San Francisco, hundreds of protesters formed human letters spelling out “No King!” on Ocean Beach.

“It feels like we’re living in an America I don’t recognize,” said one protester.

Another, a former CIA officer, told reporters: “I fought against extremism abroad, and now I see it rising at home.”

This marks the third mass protest against the Trump administration since his return to the White House.

The previous “No Kings” rallies in June took place at over 2,100 locations across the US.
