No Kings , kind of disappointed

Maybe it was the weather forecast calling for rain ( there wasn’t any ), but today’s turnout seemed to be slightly less than the last no kings rally. It was still sizable but myself and others thought that today would be quite a bit larger than the previous rally, and that was not the case.

7. Will wait for final estimates, but it would be sad if attendance is markedly down. I'm sure trump would run with that.
