Over 100,000 people took to the five boroughs of Trump's hometown of New York City, the New York Times reports. The largest crowd gathered in Times Square, while a small counter-protest (a “handful,” reports Gothamist) assembled outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, in front of a banner that read "Trump for King."

Crowds hit the streets Saturday in cities and towns across the country to vent their anger over President Trump's policies in "No Kings" protests.

The protest comes amid an ongoing legal battle over whether National Guard troops can be deployed in Portland as President Donald Trump ordered.

Lee County residents took to the streets Oct. 18, 2025, for a 'No Kings' protest in Fort Myers, Florida, in opposition to the Trump administration.
