BROADVIEW, ILLINOIS: Protesters at a "No Kings" protest in Chicago were recorded bashing a pinata resembling President Donald Trump on Saturday, October 18.

The demonstrators were gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview, Illinois. The clip showed a man carrying the Trump pinata repeatedly offering a stick to other protesters so they could hit it.

Viral clip shows child stabbing and hitting Trump figurine

In the video that went viral, the demonstrators were initially standoffish before a child took up the offer and started stabbing and hitting the Trump figurine, causing onlookers to cheer.

As the clip went viral, popular conservative accounts on X highlighted the incident on social media. Libs of TikTok shared the viral video and said, "Democrats are having kids 'stab' a figure of Trump."



"They want us all dead. They’re teaching their kids to kiII us," the post added.

Meanwhile, Sen Mike Lee also condemned the incident and wrote on X, "This isn't funny. This is how assassination culture takes root."

He added, "Democrats: please condemn this!"



Interestingly, the protest came just days after Secret Service agents found a hunting stand with a direct line of sight to Trump's landing area at the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida last week.

White House officials say President Trump resorted to an expedited boarding with heightened security when leaving Florida this weekend even though authorities have not connected the stand to a specific threat.

Trump says he is not a 'king' as he works his 'a** off'

Donald Trump trolled the "No Kings" protesters who filled streets around the nation and abroad on Saturday, saying he is not a king and that he works his "a** off to make our country great."



Reporters asked Trump on Sunday, October 19, about the protests, as the POTUS described them as "a joke".

"I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country, and I looked at all the brand-new signs paid for. I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics," Trump said.

He added, "It looks like it was worth checking out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country."

Furthermore, he stressed, "I'm not a king. I work my a** off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all."

Large crowds gathered in places like New York City, Washington, DC, and even London on Sunday for the second "No Kings" protest since June aimed at the Trump administration.
