PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Saturday was a historic day.
The U.S. Army turned 250 years old, it was Flag Day and it was also President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
But while some are celebrating, others are protesting. Across the country, including here in Florida, "No Kings Day" demonstrations are giving people a chance to speak out against the Trump administration.

People lined PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens have come out to voice their frustration.
"The president that's in power right now does not seem to believe in the rule of law; he disrespects it," Toni Mauro said.
With signs in the air and chants filling the street, protesters gathered for the "No Kings" day rally, directing their anger toward the Trump administration.
"I think if you're silent, you're complicit and that would mean I'm agreeing with everything this administration stands for and I basically don't," Scott Monaghan said.
About a thousand people packed the protest, most critical of the Trump administration. But mixed in the crowd were a few Trump supporters like this man, who wasn't shy about expressing his views.
"I voted for Donald Trump. He's done what I voted for him to do. And that is get rid of all the illegal aliens," he said.
With a noticeable police presence, the demonstration stayed calm and peaceful.
Saturday was June 14, 2025, which means Trump has been in his current term for about five months. Many of these folks here say it's time for him and his administration to leave.
"Leave, leave," one woman at the protest said.
