38 brilliant and occasionally NSFW signs from America’s enormous No Kings protests
On Saturday, US citizens and residents once more took to the streets to protest against the behaviour of the Trump government, which has been acting like a tyrannical monarchy since January.
Dubbed ‘No Kings Day’, it looks like it may have broken US protest attendance records.
Today, 7 million people came out to protest Trump at 2,700 different locations.
This is now officially the largest protest in American history.

Trump’s reaction was – bizarrely – to lean right into the idea that he’s the king of America.
Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dumping shit from a “King Trump” jet on No Kings protesters.

Many of the protesters carried placards and banners, explaining how they feel about Trump, as well as the purpose of the day. Here are some favourites.
