Americans planned demonstrations against President Donald Trump across the U.S. on Saturday as a counterpoint to the 200,000 people expected to attend the military parade in Washington.
The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.
Demonstrators unfurled banners that read, “No Crown for a Clown” and “Trumpster Fire,” as they screamed, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Donald Trump has got to go!”
