"Thank you to every New Yorker who showed up today peacefully, powerfully, and with purpose. Standing up for our neighbors and against injustice is what makes America great. New York hasn't labored under a king in more than 200 years. And we're not about to start now," Hochul wrote on X.

President Trump says he thinks the "No Kings" protests were a "joke."

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said he is not a king at all, and works hard to make the country great. He added that he looked at the protestors, and felt they weren't representative of the country, calling the demonstrations "very small and very ineffective."
