    WASHINGTON     The Daily Wire team joined throngs of marchers who took to the streets of the nation's capital Saturday for the 2025 "No Kings" protest.

    The Washington, D.C., rally was the focal point of similar events nationwide, meant to counter the "authoritarian threats" posed by President Donald Trump and his administration.

    Protesters came prepared with posters and costumes. Many of them had gone through media training and learned chants, songs, and dances to perform. But for all that preparation, many of the protesters The Daily Wire encountered couldn't answer what we thought was a simple question: "If Trump was elected, how is he a king?"

    Responses ranged from blank stares to Kamala Harris-style word salads and vague references to "checks and balances." Deep in a hole, a self-identified "he/she" claimed that Trump was taking away women's right to vote. When pressed for information, he/she said "Trump has said that in interviews everywhere."

    "No Kings" is part of the Indivisible Project, itself part of George Soros's Open Society Action Fund. The project was created to "support the grantee's social welfare activities." The Indivisible Project was awarded multiple grants, most recently they received $3 million from the Open Society Foundations.


    High-profile Democratic leaders including Harris and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer encouraged participating on social media and in official statements.

    Some protests took unsettling turns. A disturbing video from Chicago shows a middle-aged woman making a gun gesture with her hand and pointing to her neck. Towards the end of the D.C. protest, a chant broke out that "Turning Point has got to go." Many signs featured rhetoric claiming "Trump was a Nazi" and "ICE = Gestapo." A small fragment of the protest made the event a family affair with children holding signs such as "Stop Kidnapping People."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
