It has to be said, that in a fit of adolescent petulance, the president chose this as his response to a massive protest against his leadership:
Trump, the successor to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, posted an AI-created video of himself as a fighter pilot, wearing a crown, flying over an American city, and dumping shit onto American protesters. The point was not subtle: Trump wanted to mock and smear millions of Americans, literally depicting them covered in excrement, precisely so that none of his own supporters would want to join them.

He called me — a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen (which is more than can be said of him) — a thug, Marxist, and traitor for participating in my first amendment rights.
Can you imagine what the Right would say of Obama or Biden or Hillary if they had done something similar?
Trump’s response to the No Kings protest only more fully validates the protests in the first place. Here’s something that is objectively true: that many people gathering for free around the country, unified with their displeasure with how this man rules, cannot be shrugged off.
We are not going away, no matter how much shit Trump spews.
