President Donald Trump brushed aside the weekend’s nationwide “No Kings” protests, calling the demonstrations a “joke” and emphasizing his commitment to working for the American people, as reported by Breitbart.

Speaking to reporters after landing at Joint Base Andrews, President Trump was asked about the coordinated anti-Trump protests that took place Saturday across several U.S. cities. “I think it’s a joke,” he replied, waving off the demonstrations before boarding his motorcade.

“I looked at the people — they’re not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs… I guess it was paid for by [George] Soros and other radical left lunatics,” Trump said. “It looks like it was. We’re checking it out.”

The President went on to describe the events as “very small, very ineffective,” adding, “The people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.”

Trump also addressed accusations made by protesters comparing his leadership to monarchy-style rule, stressing that his administration operates under the Constitution. “I’m not a king,” he said. “I work my ass off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all.”

As Breitbart News reported, the “No Kings” protests were held Saturday in multiple U.S. cities and featured leftist demonstrators wearing inflatable frog, cat, and dinosaur costumes while holding signs with messages critical of the Trump administration.

Footage from the demonstrations showed several small groups of protesters gathered in major cities, many displaying identical, professionally printed signs. The events drew criticism online, where users questioned whether they were organized by left-wing funding networks.

President Trump later posted his own lighthearted response on Truth Social, sharing a short video meme that quickly went viral. The 20-second clip, reportedly generated with artificial intelligence, depicted Trump wearing a golden crown while piloting a fighter jet labeled “King Trump.” In the video, the aircraft drops brown-colored waste over a group of protesters shown below.

The video was set to “Danger Zone,” the 1986 Kenny Loggins hit from Top Gun, and included a visible watermark identifying the creator as @XERIAS_X.

Trump’s reaction follows a weekend of what supporters described as another example of the left’s coordinated activism falling flat. Despite extensive promotion on social media, turnout remained low in most cities, with limited on-the-ground coverage and widespread online mockery of the protests’ theatrics.
