British journalist Mehdi Hasan slammed US President Donald Trump for his anti-immigrant stance, pointing out the irony that Trump is the son, grandson, and husband of immigrants.

"Immigrants will do the jobs even Americans won't," Mehdi said today (19 October) at the "No Kings" rally in Washington DC, drawing cheers from the crowd.

'There are more of us than there are of them. We are the majority!'

He also condemned Trump's actions in Gaza and his controversial plans to militarise Democrat-led cities, urging Americans to stand against any threats to democracy.

Protesters of all age groups took to the streets in large numbers for "No Kings" rallies across the US yesterday (18 October), denouncing what they view as authoritarian tendencies and unbridled corruption of President Trump. Organisers expected millions to turn out at more than 2,600 planned rallies in major cities, small towns, and suburbs.

The nationwide protests challenge a Trump-led agenda that, organizers say, has reshaped the government and upended democratic norms since he took office.
