Protests Against Trump Planned Nationwide
Protests against the direction of the country under President Donald Trump are planned nationwide, with the GOP referring to them as "hate America" rallies.
The "No Kings" demonstrations, scheduled for Saturday, will take place in the nation's capital and communities across the U.S.
- This is the third mass mobilization since Trump's return to the White House.
- It is expected to be the largest mobilization yet.
The protests come amidst a government shutdown, which has closed federal programs and services, and is testing the balance of power between the executive, Congress, and the courts.
Organizers warn that the aggressive actions of the executive branch are a slide toward American authoritarianism.
President Trump is currently away from Washington, at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
