Hillary Clinton leads brigade of left-wing mockery, bewilderment over Trump's viral 'No Kings' protest video

"He's definitely not mad that 7 million Americans came out to protest him yesterday," Clinton posted to X Sunday, accompanied by a screenshot of HuffPost's report on Trump's video mocking the protests against him. 

Millions of protesters took to the streets of cities nationwide Saturday as part of a massive "No Kings" protest denouncing Trump and his administration. The protesters argued Trump has conducted himself like a monarch as opposed to a president, taking issue with his administration's actions on policies such as immigration and efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants residing in the nation.

Trump lampooned the protests in an AI-generated video Saturday showing him flying a military jet while wearing a crown before dumping brown sludge or sewage directly onto protesters, including liberal influencer Harry Sisson. The video played "Top Gun" theme song "Danger Zone" as the AI-generated Trump was seen dumping the sludge onto protesters. 

The video set off condemnation, mockery and confusion among liberal critics. 

Kenny Loggins, the singer behind the song "Danger Zone," also posted a response demanding his music be removed from the video as it was not authorized. 

"I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us," Loggins said, according to a statement shared on his X account. "Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' - that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us." 

"I'm not a king. I work my a-- off to make our country great. That's all it is. I'm not a king at all," he told members of the media Sunday.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also defended Trump's video in comments to the media on Monday arguing the video was an effective satire. 

"The president uses social media to make the point," Johnson said when asked about the video during a press conference. "You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that he is. He is using satire to make a point."
