President Donald Trump’s response to the weekend’s “No Kings” rallies was anything but regal.
Asked on Sunday to comment on the millions of people who turned out to protest his administration’s policies nationwide, Trump fumed: “I think it’s a joke. I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country.”
Trump claimed, without offering any evidence to back up the assertion, that the protest signs had been paid for by billionaire philanthropist George Soros and “other radical left lunatics.”
“It looks like it was. We’re checking it out,” he said.
Then the president added: “The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.”
