Inflatable animal costumes, protest signs and yellow outfits are expected across South Florida Saturday during a second round of nationwide "No Kings" rallies - the same weekend President Donald Trump will be at Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-a-plate MAGA Inc. fundraiser.

The crowd seemed to be double the size of the first No Kings protest, held in June. Hundreds of people stood outside of the park on Sixth Street.
