Protests under the banner of “No Kings” have begun across the United States against President Donald Trump, with demonstrations and rallies taking place nationwide. The protests were called for by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. Demonstrations against President Trump and his policies have been held in several American cities, drawing large crowds who chanted slogans opposing the president. According to a report by an American television network, protesters took to the streets in major cities, including Los Angeles and Dallas, on Sunday, October 18.
The demonstrations aimed not only to oppose President Trump’s policies but also to encourage citizens to vote early in the upcoming elections. The events were organized by the “No Kings” group, which planned to hold more than 3,000 events nationwide under the theme “No Kings: Vote Early.” Organizers describe the events as nonpartisan and politically neutral, although opposition to the Trump administration’s policies has been a prominent feature of the demonstrations.
Speaking at a “No Kings” rally in Minnesota, Senator Bernie Sanders said the American people were being lied to about the war against Iran and called for an immediate end to the conflict. Sanders said Trump had promised during his election campaign that he would not waste money on wars, but had broken that promise by spending money on the war with Iran. He described the conflict as unconstitutional and said Trump had not obtained congressional authorization for it.
Protest activities under the “No Kings” banner were also held again in Louisville, Kentucky. A day earlier, on Saturday, October 17, demonstrators gathered along Frankfort Avenue in the St. Matthews area to protest against President Trump. During the demonstration, members of groups known as “Kentuckiana Rising Grannies” and “Grumpy Grampies” sang songs to express their opposition to Trump’s policies. Protesters stood along the roadside, chanting slogans and voicing their concerns.
An unusual moment occurred when a Trump supporter carrying a “Trump 2028” flag walked through the crowd of demonstrators. While anti-Trump protesters were gathered along Frankfort Avenue, the supporter passed through the area holding the flag. As part of the “No Kings” campaign, organizers are urging citizens to participate actively in the electoral process and vote early wherever possible. Recent demonstrations in cities across the United States have once again highlighted the political and public opposition to the Trump administration’s policies.
