President Trump rejected the idea that he's acting like a monarch in an interview that took place the same day as the nation's massive "No Kings" protests.
“They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said in a "Sunday Morning Futures" interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo recorded on Saturday, prior to the demonstrations.
Later in the day, millions of Americans protested the president and his administration. Roughly 2,600 demonstrations took place in all 50 states, with gatherings in small towns and major cities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Many Democratic lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, joined the activists, while Republicans largely backed Trump and criticized the demonstrations.
