No Kings protests nationwide: White House called it a "complete and utter failure." What was Trump's reaction?

ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor’s “No Kings” protest on Saturday largely took aim at President Donald Trump, but two of the event’s speakers went off script with a different message.

Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.

Close to 100 protesters came out on a rainy Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s policies as part of the No Kings Protests on June 14. This was not a new sight in Warren, as protesters have gathered weekly to protest the administration’s policies each Saturday for several weeks.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s policies rally Saturday, June 14 at Dallas City Hall, in Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington, Denton, Carrollton, Flower

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

"We are here today in Tacoma saying we will not yield to that darkness in the smallest dimension," said former governor Jay Inslee.

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.
