Chanting protesters in West Palm Beach Saturday marched toward Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach private club that doubles as President Donald Trump’s South Florida home.

The crowd, carrying signs and chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” were part of a nationwide “No Kings” protest against the Trump administration’s policies. Many also gathered at protests across South Florida, including in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami Beach.

In West Palm Beach, police allowed demonstrators to march all the way to the end of the bridge that connects with the Town of Palm Beach near Mar-a-Lago before turning them around, according to the Palm Beach Post and WPTV reporter Michael Hoffman, who posted videos of the Palm Beach County protest on social media.

The president wasn’t at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday. He’s in Washington, D.C., to watch the military parade commemorating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. Saturday is also Flag Day, and Trump’s 79th birthday.
