The US President responded to a question about the No Kings protest.
US President Donald Trump, responding to a question about the connection between the government shutdown and the No Kings protest to be held this weekend, said that he is "not a king". The American leader made the statement on Fox News.
"Some people say they want to extend everything just because of this. I'm not a king, you know, that's what they're saying, calling me a king. I'm not the king," Trump responded to a reporter's question about whether the government shutdown was solely related to the upcoming protest.
Trump also said in the interview that imposing the shutdown was "a mistake by the Democrats."
"I think they could have just stayed out forever, frankly. Now we're cutting Democrat programs that we don't need because ... they made one mistake. They didn't realize that that gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted," the American president said.
According to information on the website of the No Kings protest organizers, on Saturday, October 18, millions of people will come out to protest in more than 2,500 locations across the United States. The previous time a similar action was held in June. The main message the protesters want to convey is that "Trump is not a king".
