The "No Kings" movement was launched by a coalition of political action groups in response to what protesters describe as authoritarian tactics used by the Trump administration. Oct. 18 was Montgomery's second "No Kings" protest, with the first happening in June. The protests from the beginning were intended to be nonviolent.

Thousands gathered across Southern California on Saturday, Oct. 18 to protest President Donald Trump’s policies since his return to office at the beginning of the year.

President Trump responded to those who took part in the No Kings protests on Saturday, saying Sunday he is not a king and works his “ass off to make our country great.”

The latest episode of "Saturday Night Live" featured President Trump declaring the No Kings protests are actually a celebration of George Santos.
