Impact of much-hyped ‘No Kings’ rallies described in detail
There were hundreds of thousands, maybe more, people in America who participated in anti-President Donald Trump rallies over the weekend.
Funded by some wealth extremists, they operated under the “No Kings” label, based on their own political perspective that Trump is acting like a king, not a president.
Promoters said millions turned out. One published report said they capped a week “of demonstrations against immigration raids” that are part of the president’s agenda to secure America’s borders and deport illegal alien criminals.
But one report after the events revealed a startling bit of information: Most Americans, by far a massive majority, ignored them.
It is Slay News that revealed, “Backed by nearly 200 progressive groups with billions in combined funding, the much-hyped ‘No Kings’ protests on June 14 were supposed to spark a grassroots uprising against President Donald Trump.”
However, if they were successful it was only in exposing “the Left’s deep malaise,” the report said.
“Despite months of planning and near-unlimited financial support, the protests failed to mobilize more than 1.5% of the U.S. population by the organizers’ own generous estimates. Over 98% of Americans stayed home and ignored the so-called ‘movement,'” the report confirmed.
The report said the protests, intended to be a “nationwide rebuke” of Trump and his policies, attracted maybe only five million participants, and that was “based on vague, unverified estimates from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the event’s top sponsors.”
The messaging from Deirdre Schifeling, an official with the ACLU, was clear: “Today’s protests are a resounding message that people across the nation will not be intimidated by President Trump’s fear tactics.”
The report said the “numbers and the mood told a different story.”
“The group’s stated goal is to mobilize 3.5% of the U.S. population—a figure rooted in left-wing protest theory that claims that’s the magic number needed to force political change,” Slay News reported. “They didn’t even hit half that.”

The report described the events as revealing “a progressive base that’s demoralized, disorganized, and politically adrift in the face of a resurgent Trump administration.”
The White House earlier called the events a “complete and utter failure.”
“The so-called No Kings protests have been a complete and utter failure with minuscule attendance. It is sad Democrats and liberals would rather support criminals and illegals instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of our great U.S. Army and Flag Day,” communications director Steven Cheung wrote. “But many more Americans are commemorating our brave military men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice and who those continue to serve our country.”
There was violence, too. One man was shot in a Utah even and a man drove an SUV into the crowd in Virginia.
