Protests Against Trump Planned Nationwide
Protests against the direction of the country under President Donald Trump are planned nationwide, with the GOP referring to them as "hate America" rallies.
Organized as "No Kings" demonstrations, these protests are the third mass mobilization since Trump's return to the White House and are expected to be the largest.
The protests come amidst a government shutdown, which has not only closed federal programs and services but also raised concerns about the balance of power in the US government.
The president's Republican Party is calling these demonstrations "Hate America" rallies.
