Khaberni - Amid widespread national protests and ongoing government shutdown, U.S. Vice President JD Vance released a provocative video depicting President Donald Trump as a king.
Vance uploaded a computer-generated video on the "Bluesky" platform, showing Trump as a king wielding a sword. The scene is dominated by images of prominent Democratic figures, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, kneeling before Trump.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown continues for 19 days, amidst protests titled "No to Kings in America" in New York, Washington D.C., and several other U.S. states.
The organizers stated that these would be peaceful marches against what they described as "Trump's authoritarianism", meanwhile, the Republican Party described these gatherings as "protests that hate America".
Organizers of the 'No to Kings' protests previously reported that nearly 7 million people in the United States had taken to the streets to protest against Trump's policies.
This is an increase of two million people over the first wave of these demonstrations on June 14, as reported by the "No to Kings" organization.
