Funny Faux-King Protest Signs – Shapiro’s fave No Kings protest posters
17 October, 2025
Tomorrow it’s time for another round of “No Kings” marches, to protest the USA’s rapid descent into dictatorship. Here are some of my favorite signs and posters from the last protest in June.
(Correction: In the Netherlands, the protest is called “No Tyrants” – because Dutch people generally like King Willem Alexander. When the King hosted Trump in June for the NATO summit, it was Queen Maxima who snuck a cheeky Trump impression to a side camera. Or maybe her face was stuck that way from so much ass-kissing.)
Mockery is power. Stephen Miller and his ICE-capades would like nothing more than to make flashy videos of their masked vigilantes mowing down evil-doers. But when the troops are facing off against protesters dressed in frog costumes and giant poop emojis, it sure ruins their narrative.
In June of 2025, I went to the Amsterdam “No Tyrants” protest with a sign saying “Tiny Dictator.”
I thought I would leave it at that, because – kids. But then this guy had the same idea and hit it a bit more on the nose: “Dick Traitor.”
This one was PG-13 and right on topic: “no faux king way.”
Here’s a poster portraying Donnie as a drag queen, saying “Bitch, please.”
And yes there were people of all ages. Here’s a US veteran with a sign saying “now you’ve pissed off grandma.”
That one was my favorite. Until I saw this little puppy with the clear winner: “unleash the resistance.”
(But seriously, leash your dog. Stay peaceful and stay legal.)
Some of my other favorite protest signs from around the world said:
“Elect a rapist, expect to get f**ked,” “you sucked in Home Alone 2,”
and “Trump is the worst president since Trump.”
