Trump is not only destroying American democracy, he is literally tearing down the White House:

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

"Trump was totally unhinged last night after he found out how big the No Kings Protests were. He was posting weird AI videos of himself wearing crowns. Then he posted an AI video of himself flying a fighter jet and defecating on peaceful protestors at the No Kings protest in Manhattan. Yeah, that was not a typo. He posted a video of himself dropping feces on the faces of peaceful protestors."

"About 400 people and at least six frogs turned out to the American Embassy in Ireland to call for No Kings today. …

We had maybe 6 frogs, one dancing dinosaur, and one chicken over the course of the protest, including a frog from Portland."

"The idea that someone is paying MILLIONS of Americans to go out and protest is a lie so absurd that only a Republican could believe it.

"According to the CCC, on Oct. 1, 2025, there had been over 29,000 political protests held around the country since Donald Trump’s second inauguration this January. I added the 2,500 No Kings Day events we have tracked in our spreadsheet.

Over the same period in 2017, during Trump’s first term, there were barely over 8,000 protests."
