"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are taking place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic from 42nd Street to 23rd Street in Manhattan as protesters marched from Bryant Park.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.

Demonstrators unfurled banners that read, “No Crown for a Clown” and “Trumpster Fire,” as they screamed, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Donald Trump has got to go!”
