Activists in Philadelphia and Bucks County protested against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Presidents’ Day. The protests focused on Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and called out both figures for their actions. In Philadelphia, hundreds of protesters gathered at City Hall and marched to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, while a similar scene unfolded in Sellersville. Protesters called on elected officials to stand by the Constitution and support the enforcement of court orders.
One protester at the Sellersville demonstration stood out as a makeshift “king” and “villain”, representing Trump and Musk. Protesters in both locations compared the two to wannabe kings, with signs declaring “not a king!” and challenging individuals to choose their king. Some protesters highlighted the importance of grassroots protests in standing up to Trump and his allies, encouraging more people to speak out and take action.
While some protesters had been demonstrating for years, others attended for the first time. Participants felt the need to resist Trump’s actions and prevent Musk from influencing government decisions. They aimed to educate and mobilize others to join the movement and push back against what they saw as threats to democracy and human rights.
The protests were seen as a beginning of a larger movement to resist the influence of Trump and Musk, who were criticized for their policies and actions in office. Demonstrators called on the public to think critically, stand up for their rights, and work together to build a strong force of resistance against what they perceived as harmful leadership.
