Trump Supporters Clash with 'No Kings' Protesters in Florida, US
Around 50 supporters of United States President Donald Trump became involved in a verbal clash with ‘No Kings’ demonstrators in West Palm Beach, Florida. Police subsequently attempted to separate the crowds. According to CNN and AFP on Sunday (29 March 2026), the ‘No Kings’ demonstrators were protesting the war, rising food and petrol prices, and other issues across various regions of the US. While the demonstration was ongoing, Trump supporters suddenly appeared and began arguing with the protesters. Some arrived with megaphones to broadcast pro-Trump messages. Other supporters came with microphones and waved ‘Proud Boys’ hats, T-shirts, and flags. Police officers were seen calming the situation. Large crowds of demonstrators had gathered across various parts of the US on Saturday (28 March) local time to oppose Trump. They vented their anger over what they viewed as Trump’s authoritarian governing style, his hardline immigration policies, and the war with Iran. Organisers stated that ‘at least 8 million people gathered today at more than 3,300 events across all 50 states’. US authorities provided no estimate of the national crowd size. This is the third time in less than a year that US citizens have taken to the streets as part of the grassroots movement known as ‘No Kings’. The movement represents the most vocal and visible opposition to Trump since he began his second term in January 2025. In New York, the most populous city in the US, tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered, including Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, a critic of Trump. He described the president as an ‘existential threat to our freedom and security’. Protests took place from Atlanta to San Diego, with residents of Alaska joining later. ‘No country can govern without the consent of the people. We are here because we feel the Constitution is threatened in various ways. The state of affairs is not normal. The state of affairs is not alright,’ said demonstrator Marc McCaughey (36) to AFP in Atlanta, where thousands took to the streets.
