As US President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday by hosting a UFC event in the White House garden, the anti-Trump “No Kings” movement launched a fresh wave of nationwide protests. The demonstrations, anchored by a star-studded concert in New York City featuring celebrities like Julia Roberts and Patti Smith, were organized to defend fundamental freedoms that organizers claim are being suppressed during Trump’s second term. Activists used the nationwide events to call on Americans to unite against political corruption and protect their constitutional rights. However, the White House sharply dismissed the demonstrations, with a spokesperson mocking the protests as “Trump madness therapy sessions” that only interest the media.
