Across the Nation, ‘No Kings’ Protesters Rally to Oppose Trump Demonstrators spoke out against what they called authoritarian actions of the Trump administration as Republicans cast the events as un-American By Owen Tucker-Smith Hundreds of thousands of protesters thronged city centers and parks for a national day of “No Kings” rallies, challenging what they say are authoritarian actions by President Trump, whom they portray as acting more like a king than a president. More than 200,000 demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., according to event organizers, while tens of thousands more packed Grant Park in Chicago and Boston Common.

Why can’t people just wait and accept it?” wrote a commenter on a community Facebook group In Easton, Mass., Dan Jameson, a 38-year-old Trump voter there, attended a local “No Kings” rally anyway, saying, “I didn’t foresee the kind of consolidation of power that he’s been going for.” 중략.....
