The anti-Trump \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests will return to Central Florida on Saturday after previously drawing thousands of protestors to rallies across the state in June.<\/p>\n
The \u201cNo Kings Day\u201d protests held on June 14 were timed to coincide with President Donald Trump\u2019s birthday and his military parade in Washington, D.C., staged to celebrate the anniversary of the U.S. Army. They were called a \u201cnationwide day of defiance\u201d against a president protestors say acts like a monarch.<\/p>\n
Orlando\u2019s protest was the largest in the region with a crowd of at least 4,000, according to organizers. There were over 2,000 protests across the nation and around 70 in Florida, including in Apopka and Casselberry.<\/p>\n
Dozens of new protests are planned for Saturday, which organizers say will be peaceful gatherings aiming to show dislike for Trump\u2019s policies and a president who \u201cthinks his rule is absolute.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump administration officials, in turn, have blamed the planned Oct. 18 protests for prolonging the federal government shutdown, arguing Democrats don\u2019t want to make a deal until their supporters can demonstrate, and House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News the upcoming events amounted to a \u201chate America rally.\u201d<\/p>\n
