What did Donald Trump do today?

He had a quiet day, possibly enjoying a little time outdoors.

Trump spent the day at one of his golf courses today, as he does almost every Saturday. It has been quite some time since Trump has been observed actually playing the game, which his fragile health may no longer permit. Pool reporters used to be able to watch Trump heading to and from the course, or observe him from afar on certain holes, but they are now kept far away and sometimes cannot even verify that he was actually at the course.

That said, it was a beautiful day in West Palm Beach, so it's not unreasonable to think Trump at least enjoyed a little sunny weather on a patio.

Relatedly, somewhere between eight and nine million other Americans also got out and enjoyed the day today in roughly 3,000 coordinated "No Kings" protests in places like New York City

Trump kept an unusually low profile on social media today, but the White House did comment briefly on the millions and millions Americans participating in the largest single-day protest in U.S. history spent their day: it called them "deranged."

Why does this matter?

• Americans still have First Amendment rights. 

• No matter how much it upsets him—no matter how desperately he needs people to believe it—no matter how special he thinks he is—Donald Trump is not a king.
