I’m predicting it will be smaller than the first two. I don’t think the American public believes peaceful protest accomplishes anything anymore. And why should they? Recent history has shown peaceful protest amounts to a fart in the wind. Combine that with the No Kings protest not even having any solid goals or demands, and I just don’t see how people can get excited for it.
“Targeting Trump” isn’t the goal, “no kings” is the goal. More specifically, the goal is to prevent one person from having unrestrained power over the country. Is a protest going to prevent that? No, not directly. Protests will let the people in power know that millions of people see what they’re doing and we all disapprove, and it will let other regular people and like minded politicians know that they’re not alone in their concerns, will will give more people confidence to resist when their might otherwise not.

yeah, i’m not feeling that at all.
The goal is in the title.
“Targeting Trump” is neither a goal or a demand.

for sure there is a strangely growing online thing hoping for it. apparently.
