Millions of people took to the streets throughout the country this weekend to protest President Donald Trump's agenda as the government shutdown enters its third full week with no clear resolution.

For more, we're joined by our Politics Monday duo. That's Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Tamara Keith of NPR.

It's always great to see you both.

Hello.

So some seven million people, according to the organizers,

they protested, demonstrated across some 2,500 cities. The president dismissed this weekend's

massive protests. You see the images there from this past weekend. He dismissed them as a joke,

saying that the people involved were not representative of the country. Take a listen to what he had to say. I think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country. And by the way, I'm not a king. I'm not a king. I work by us hope to make our country great. That's all. Congratulations. They didn't burn any buildings down.

That's a big achievement for the left to have some kind of gathering where they don't have

a loot in and riots and burn a building down.

Again, some 7 million people, 2,500 cities.

This clearly aggravated him a little bit.

Yes, and part of President Trump's power in this second term has come from an air of invincible,

of inevitability, of having power and being able to use it.

And what these demonstrators showed, mostly what they showed each other, is that they aren't alone and that there are people who actually do

oppose the president. He has, by sort of saying, oh, this isn't a big deal and all of that,

he is, and also putting out a video, an AI altered, or not altered, altered, an AI-created video of himself flying a fighter

jet with a crown on his head, much like a king, dropping what looks like excrement on

protesters.

He's trying to downplay something that is real and is a part of America. Obviously, it's not all of America.

It's not his part of America. He has repeatedly, by during the government shutdown, for instance,

saying, I'm going to defund Democrat things and Democrat states to use, phrasing that he has used.
