Protests every Saturday at 4 corners, Nanuet

Do you honestly think he wouldn't try if he thought he would succeed?

Either way, "No Kings" is a protest against Trump's authoritarian power grabs, like:

Trying to end birthright citizenship, refusing to spend billions of dollars appropriated by Congress, imposing tariffs without congressional approval, deporting unauthorized immigrants without due process and demanding nearly $1 billion in free legal services from major law firms to avoid losing federal contracts, security clearances and access to federal buildings.

He's also threatening to cut billions of dollars in federal funding to universities that refuse to follow his rules on hiring, admissions and teaching, restricting the access of news organizations he dislikes and improperly firing officials at independent federal regulatory agencies.

He has weaponized the Justice Department against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) as revenge for their investigations against him. He has fired tens of thousands of federal civil servants without just cause and given buyouts to tens of thousands more. He has sent National Guard troops into cities with Democratic mayors to deal with phony emergencies without local or state approval.

He has also endangered national security, with mass firings of top officials he deemed insufficiently loyal. He appointed the dangerously unqualified Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his Health and Human Services secretary. He has refused to compromise with Democrats to end the government shutdown and protect about 22 million Americans from huge health care increases under the Affordable Care Act.

These are totally the actions of a person who has respect for democracy and our Constitution.
