‘King’ Trump, 79, Suffers Another Worldwide Humiliation
Protesters all over the world have joined Americans in blasting Donald Trump.
It’s not just Americans who are turning out in droves to call out Donald Trump.
Protesters around the world poured out onto the streets on Saturday to take part in “No Kings” rallies as Americans geared up for the third installment of the popular movement against Trump, which is expected to draw millions of people.
In Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, and Australia, protesters took to the streets, carrying signs blasting the 79-year-old American president and his war with Iran.
In Rome, people held up an enormous banner that read, “For a world free from war” in Italian.

In the U.S., meanwhile, more than 3,000 “No Kings” protests were scheduled across the country. This was the third time since Trump returned to office that Americans have rallied against him on issues ranging from his heavy-handed immigration blitz to the fast-rising cost of living.
In Washington, D.C., protesters carried an inflatable effigy of Trump as they marched in his backyard.
“When I stood at the first ‘No Kings’ rally, we were fighting to protect democracy at home and against federal agents and troops that were deployed on American streets, against a government that was manufacturing a crisis to justify using its power against its own people,” Army veteran Naveed Shah, an organizer from the group Common Defense, said.
“Today, we’re still fighting that same fight, but now that manufactured crisis has gone global,” he added.

“Our members will be turning out peacefully in the streets because they believe in a better future for this country, and they can’t sit by on the sidelines about what Trump and his administration are doing to our home,” MoveOn executive director Katie Bethell said.

“Let’s be clear, the Trump administration has become a threat to the American people at every level. They are waging violence at home and abroad.”
