Thousands Gathered on Presidents' Day to call Trump a Tyrant
Monday, thousands of protesters opposing broad swaths of President Trump's agenda took to the streets across the US, calling Mr. Trump a "king" on Presidents' Day for his efforts to terminate thousands of federal workers and to fire prosectors and independent watchdogs within the Federal government.
On Saturday, Mr. Trump suggested on social media that he would not heed concerns of his sweeping actions may break the laws, and posted a riff on phrase attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte: "He who saves his country does not violate any law."
Many protesters opposed to Mr. Trump's agenda embraced symbols of patriotism, waving flags and wearing heart - shaped earrings and the audience burst into applause after the final line: "And the home of the brave."
"There's nothing more patriotic than fighting against tyranny," said Kat Duesterhaus, who traveled from Miami to join the Washington protest, "We're out here because we are patriots."
