GRANTIFA: Boomers gather in American cities for ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump, go home early

In one photo from Portland, a gray-haired woman held a large handmade sign suggesting Trump is a "c*nt" to insult the president, declaring he “lacks depth and warmth.”

Another viral image showed a 102-year-old man in a red raincoat seated with a walker, holding a sign reading, “Fought fascism in 1945! At 102 I am doing it again!” In Washington, DC, a crowd of mostly retirees waved small American flags and “Dump Trump” placards.

One protester was seen dressed in the same attire as Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin who murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk. "People were going to No Kings rallies dressed up as Charlie Kirk’s murderer," Jack Posobiec posted on X, along with a photo.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had pledged to join the demonstrations, saying earlier in the week that he wanted to “celebrate what makes this country so great.”

On social media, Schumer urged Americans to “march peacefully” and “not let Donald Trump and Republicans intimidate you into silence.” The events, however, faced backlash for being backed by radical-left organizations, including the Communist Party USA and various socialist coalitions.

Online flyers from Antifa-affiliated networks circulated ahead of the marches, urging militants to infiltrate and “revive a black bloc contingent.” Police maintained a strong presence in cities such as Portland and Boston, though there were some reports of unrest.

By sunset, the crowds had thinned out, with most attendees heading home. Organizers claimed the events represented “a nationwide call for unity,” but turnout skewed heavily toward older participants, many of whom had attended similar anti-Trump demonstrations in previous election cycles.
