Fact Check: "The meme was posted on the same weekend as protests against President Donald Trump’s administration and policies, which occurred on October 21, 2023."

What We Know

The claim suggests that a meme was shared during protests against President Donald Trump that took place on October 21, 2023. However, upon reviewing the timeline of protests against Trump, it appears that significant protests under the banner of “No Kings” occurred on June 15-16, 2025, not in October 2023. These protests were organized in response to various policies of the Trump administration and drew millions of participants across the United States (source-1, source-3).

The specific date mentioned in the claim, October 21, 2023, does not align with any documented protests against Trump. The timeline of protests against Trump has been well-documented, and there were no major events reported on that date (source-1).

Analysis

The claim lacks factual support as it references a date that does not correlate with any known protests against President Trump. The protests that are often cited in relation to his administration's policies occurred during various periods, particularly during his presidency from 2016 to 2021, and have continued in different forms since then. The significant protests referenced in the claim, particularly the “No Kings” protests, occurred in June 2025, which is well after the date mentioned (source-1, source-3).

The sources used to verify the claim are credible, including established news organizations and Wikipedia, which compiles information from various reliable sources. However, the absence of any protests on the specified date undermines the claim's validity.

Conclusion

Verdict: False
The claim that a meme was posted during protests against President Trump on October 21, 2023, is false. There were no significant protests documented on that date, and the major protests associated with the “No Kings” movement occurred in June 2025. The misinformation likely stems from a misunderstanding of the timeline of protests against Trump.
