More than 2,500 demonstrations are taking place across the United States today, as part of the No Kings movement, with millions of citizens protesting against the Trump administration and what they describe as its increasingly authoritarian course.

The mobilization is organized by a coalition of progressive organizations and unions, which had also coordinated the mass demonstrations in June.

Their goal, they say, is to send the message that America has no kings.

The protests are taking place in all 50 states – from New York and San Francisco to small towns like Bozeman in Montana.

Participants are wearing yellow clothing, a symbol of peaceful resistance, while several cities have filed appeals against the deployment of federal troops, which the Trump administration is seeking to deploy.

Republican officials have called the protests anti-American, while Democrats, such as Chuck Schumer and Gavin Newsom, have called on citizens to use their voices peacefully.

Solidarity rallies are also taking place in European capitals, such as Berlin, Madrid and Rome.

No Kings organizers estimate that this is one of the largest days of protest in American history.

Trump on Fox News: I am not a king

President Donald Trump told Fox News that he is not a king.

A king! It's not a role, Trump said in an excerpt from his interview to be broadcast Sunday on Sunday Morning Futures. You know, they call me king. I'm not a king.

Allies of the president have mockingly described the protests as manifestations of hatred for America.

The rallies are being organized as Trump has sent federal forces to some cities, either to reinforce immigration services in deportations, or – officially – to combat crime, despite the fact that several of them have seen a significant reduction in violence.
