The situation in the United States is becoming extremely tense. Last weekend, unprecedented demonstrations against the policies of the head of the White House, Donald Trump, and his administration took place across the country.
According to various sources, about 9 million people took part in the recent protests. The demonstrators took to the streets demanding an end to Trump's decisions, the sharp increase in the cost of living, and the activities of the Immigration Service (ICE).
"No to Kings!": Is American democracy in danger?
The main slogan of the demonstrations was "No Kings." The people loudly declared that they could not accept the autocratic rule of kings in America. According to the organizers, Trump is trying to rule the country like a tyrant, while the power belongs to the people, not billionaires.
The White House responded sharply to these events, calling the demonstrations "Trump's depression therapy."
Geography of the demonstrations: From Washington to Paris
On Saturday, the National Mall and the Lincoln Memorial in downtown Washington were filled with people. The demonstrations were echoed not only in major US cities, but also in European capitals such as Paris and London.
Thousands of people gathered in New York's famous Times Square. Among them was the famous actor and director Robert De Niro. In an interview with a BBC correspondent, he called Trump "crazy" and stressed the need for peaceful resistance to the regime. Trump, in turn, mocked the actor as "low IQ."
What caused the conflict to flare up?
The shooting of two Americans by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in January of this year further fueled public anger. This incident has intensified hatred for the Trump administration's migration tactics.
The President's Response: "I'm Not a King"
Trump has significantly expanded his powers since returning to power in 2025. He has even deployed National Guard troops to cities, despite the objections of governors. The president himself explains these actions as "rebuilding a country in crisis." "They call me king, but I'm not a king," he says in his statements.
However, defenders of the Constitution and political critics warn that American democracy is under serious threat.
Dear readers, do you think this discontent of millions of people will force the Trump administration to change its policies? Is the era of a "new monarchy" really beginning in America?
