WASHINGTON, DC: The Trump campaign just roasted left-wing 'No Kings' protests against President Donald Trump.

Over the weekend, as demonstrators across the country screamed 'No Kings', the official campaign Instagram account, @TeamTrump, jumped into the fray with some trolling.

Supporters flooded the comments with laughs and quips.

“The trolling is unmatched,” one user wrote.

Another declared, “All hail KING TRUMP!! 👑.”

A person added, “The post on my feed before this was a 'No Kings' protest. This is hilarious🤣.”

Another mocked the protesters’ message: “Bro won the popular vote and every single swing state, that is exactly what democracy looks like lol."

One supporter gushed, “I love how Trump is enjoying 'No Kings' day, he has a good sense of humor.”

Inside the ‘No Kings’ uprising with Brandon Johnson and protesters

Thousands of 'No Kings' protesters took to the streets over the weekend, from New York City to Chicago, waving vulgar signs and chanting slogans against the President.

In Chicago, progressive Mayor Brandon Johnson fired up the crowd like a prizefight announcer, “Are you ready to defend this democracy? Are you ready to fight fascism? Are you prepared to destroy authoritarianism once and for all? Let the world hear you, 'No kings.'



 

In Midtown Manhattan, the NYPD estimated around 100,000 people turned out, though no arrests were reported. Some protesters carried signs calling Trump a “fascist” and a “tyrant,” while others joined in chants of “Free Palestine,” despite Trump’s recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

Several signs labeled public figures like Jimmy Kimmel, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as far-left allies by adding “ANTIFA” next to their faces.

Trump responds to 'king' narrative

Trump brushed off the “king” narrative, telling Fox News Friday, “They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king.”



 

Allies were less diplomatic. House Speaker Mike Johnson labeled the events a “hate America rally.”

The demonstrations were reportedly organized by a coalition including the ACLU, Indivisible, 50501, and others, claiming 2,600 events nationwide. Reports indicate that the George Soros–funded Open Society Action Fund donated $3 million to Indivisible, which Trump has previously accused of paying protesters.

Meanwhile, the White House social media team mocked Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries on X (formerly Twitter), posting a meme showing the two Democrats as cartoon princesses with the caption, “No Kings.”
