Online retailers Temu and Amazon are selling merchandise promoting the “No Kings” protests planned to coincide with President Donald Trump’s military parade and birthday celebration in Washington, D.C., this Saturday. The shirts carry slogans such as “No Kings,” “No Kings in America,” and “No Kings, No Fascists, No Tyrants, No Nazis,” aligning with the rhetoric of leftist groups organizing demonstrations nationwide.
Temu, a China-based e-commerce platform tied to forced labor supply chains, offers a “No Kings” t-shirt featuring an American flag for just $5.57. Amazon, founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, hosts similar shirts, further amplifying the protest branding.
The protests, spearheaded by the “No Kings” group and reportedly supported by The Indivisible Project, aim to overshadow the 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Army, which President Trump organized and personally funded. The event, held on Flag Day and Trump’s birthday, honors the Army’s historic contributions and features reenactments, flyovers, and military demonstrations.
A Breitbart News investigation revealed that the protests are not grassroots but heavily funded by the Arabella Advisors dark money network. Since 2019, Arabella has funneled over $100 million into groups affiliated with “No Kings,” including the creator of the movement’s official protest songbook. The network’s primary backers include George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.
The “No Kings” group has called for nationwide demonstrations with the slogan “no thrones, no crowns, no kings,” signaling its broader agenda to oppose President Trump and his allies. Despite portraying itself as a populist uprising, the operation appears to be a well-coordinated, billionaire-funded production targeting conservative leadership and American traditions.
President Trump dismissed the criticism when asked about the “No Kings” movement, saying, “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
