Florida to host 45 protests against Trump in single day as he plays golf in the state
Activists were expected to gather for at least 45 protests against President Donald Trump and DOGE administrator Elon Musk while the commander-in-chief visited three of his golf courses in the state.
The 45 protests were just some of the 1,000 nationwide demonstrations planned for Saturday against the Trump administration as a part of the "Hands Off!" movement, according to USA Today. The protests will come just days after Trump's so-called Liberation Day, when he announced tariffs on dozens of countries.
Trump was scheduled to travel to Florida on Thursday, where he will visit three golf courses he owns before returning to Washington, D.C., next week.
"Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. We are fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on — our health care, our data, our jobs, our services — and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!" a statement from organizers said.

"This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country."
Protesters expressed a "commitment to nonviolent action."
"We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values," the organizers insisted.
Trump can expect to see protestors near his Mar-a-Lago resort between 3 pm and 5 pm on Saturday.
