President Donald Trump took another shot at the "No Kings" protests aboard Air Force One on Sunday night.
"I'm not a king," Trump told the presidential press pool in one of his Sunday night media scrums. "I work my a** off to make our country great.
"That's all it is. I'm not a king at all."
The remarks come after the "No Kings" protests drew an estimated 7 million activists to anti-Trump events that featured festive music to downplay the optics of a gathering to oppose America's democratically elected leader.
Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., rebuked the gatherings as "anti-America" demonstrations and a rejection of actual democracy.
While 7 million nationwide may seem like a significant number of anti-Trump activists, it represents only about one-tenth of the 77,303,568 who voted for Trump in 2024.
"I think it's a joke," Trump told reporters. "I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country.
"The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out. When you look at [these] people, those are not representative of the people of our country."
Trump's remarks came hours after his Truth Social account posted another meme of a "Top Gun" jet airdropping feces on "No Kings" protesters in Manhattan.
With Kenny Loggins' famed "Top Gun" theme song "Danger Zone" playing, a fighter jet captained by Trump, and emblazoned with "King Trump" on its side, takes off and drops what appears to be brown sludge, resembling mud or liquid feces, on demonstrators in New York City, Trump's former home.
The 19-second clip includes real-world footage of demonstrators and shows it striking specific individuals, including leftist activist Harry Sisson.
Sisson was a 2020 and 2024 election influencer, producing rapid-response videos and posts amplifying Democrat talking points, particularly those supportive of former President Joe Biden and critical of Trump.
