‘No Kings’ protesters, counter-protester face off outside Trump’s SoCal golf course
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 'No Kings' rally on Saturday morning, March 28, outside President Donald Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes turned tense as a heated argument broke out.
Protesters stood along Palos Verdes Drive South, holding signs and chanting slogans. Passing drivers honked their horns to show support. Most people remained peaceful, but the mood briefly escalated when a protester got into a face-to-face shouting match with a counter-protester wearing a shirt with a provocative message.
Tensions rise as ‘No Kings’ protesters clash near Trump’s SoCal golf course
Protesters gathered in large numbers, marching along streets, assembling in public spaces, and chanting slogans. Similar events were held across Southern California, with cities hosting demonstrations throughout the day. These protests were part of a wider movement taking place in many locations.
The calm atmosphere shifted when a 'No Kings' protester came face-to-face with a counter-protester wearing a shirt that read, “DEPORT WHITE LIBERAL WOMEN.” The two stood just inches apart, shouting at each other as people nearby joined in, yelling about color and telling them to go home, with some shouting about their race and skin color, as per KTLA.
Both men exchanged insults and provoked one another, bringing the situation close to turning physical. However, neither of them threw a punch. The moment eventually eased when the counter-protester stepped back and used a megaphone to shout, “This guy is fighting for illegal aliens,” while the other protester was guided away.
Nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests grow over economic and political concerns
Across the United States, 'No Kings' protests have unfolded nationwide, with people rallying against the policies of Trump, the rising cost of living, and the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Major marches have taken place in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, while smaller gatherings have also appeared in suburbs and towns across both traditionally red and blue states.
Throughout the day, crowds have come together to sing, dance, and hold up signs, turning the demonstrations into both protest and public expression. One of the most notable events in Minnesota featured a performance by Bruce Springsteen along with speeches from well-known figures.
These protests mark the third round of “No Kings” demonstrations, following earlier largely peaceful turnouts that drew millions. Since then, nationwide immigration crackdowns, rising gas prices, and economic strain linked to the war have added to the concerns bringing people out to protest.
