Overview

• President Trump shared a Truth Social clip depicting himself in a crown flying a jet labeled "King Trump" over Times Square and dropping brown sludge on demonstrators to the song "Danger Zone."
• The 19‑second AI video also targets influencer Harry Sisson, and Trump accounts circulated additional king‑themed AI content portraying him with royal regalia.
• The White House amplified the trolling with an image on X showing Trump and Vice President JD Vance in crowns above altered photos of Democratic leaders in sombreros, captioned, "We’re built different. Have a good night, everyone. 👑"
• Organizers said nearly seven million people participated in more than 2,500 "No Kings" events across all 50 states, while authorities reported large, largely peaceful crowds, including more than 100,000 in New York City with no protest‑related arrests.
• Critics called the president’s post dehumanizing and said it validated protesters’ concerns, as Republican leaders continued to denounce the demonstrations as "hate America" rallies.
