'Full House' Star Resurfaces Wearing Explicit Anti-Trump Hat While Protesting

Jodie Sweetin is making headlines again, not for a nostalgic "Full House" reunion, but for her bold and outspoken presence at a rally opposing Donald Trump.

The 43-year-old actress, best known for playing Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom, was spotted on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall Saturday wearing a black baseball cap emblazoned with a blunt political message.

Clad in all black, shirt, leggings, and shades, Jodie Sweetin was photographed alongside throngs of demonstrators, echoing her longstanding presence at social justice rallies.

The now-viral accessory, which read “We f-cking hate Donald Trump," made waves on social media after Daily Mail shared photos. Sweetin joined the massive Hands Off! protest movement aimed at Trump, Elon Musk, and the broader Republican agenda.

She previously made headlines in 2022 after being shoved by LAPD officers during an abortion rights protest, also in Los Angeles.

According to the Los Angeles Times, roughly 500,000 people registered for protests across the country, organized by coalitions rallying against what they’re calling the “Trump-Musk billionaire takeover.”

The L.A. march began in Pershing Square, with Sweetin, who identifies as an activist on Instagram, taking the mic under the California sun to address the crowd.

“This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies,” the event description for the “Hands Off” protest read.

“Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop [to] the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country," it added.

Los Angeles County Republican Party Chairwoman Roxanne Hoge dismissed the demonstrations as “boring, predictable tantrums,” adding that they held little significance for the Trump administration.

“Radical leftists are protesting President Donald Trump with marches and a parade balloon?” Hoge said, per the LA Times. “We are interested in good governance and public safety, and wish our Democrat friends would join us in advocating for both.”

The downtown L.A. event featured political street theater, including an Uncle Sam figure holding a sign that read “LIBERTY,” a woman dressed as a skeleton in a Trump-themed gown, and a speaker who introduced himself as a “trillionaire for Trump.”

Hovering above the crowd was a giant Humpty Dumpty balloon styled with Trump’s signature hairdo.

Saturday’s demonstrations stretched across the country, from Boston Common to the streets of Manhattan and the steps of ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C. Protesters carried signs that read “Let Gaza Live!” and “This is the government our founders warned us about,” with others calling out defense officials and prominent Republicans.

Representative Al Green joined demonstrators, signaling intensifying pressure from the Democratic base to take a firmer stand against the GOP.

The immediate spark for the protests was the detainment of three Palestinian students, Rumeysa Ozturk, Ranjani Srinivasani, and Mahmoud Khalil, by ICE earlier this month. Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctoral student from Tufts, was arrested while walking through a Boston suburb and transferred to a detention center in Louisiana.

The Department of Homeland Security claimed the students were detained over “support for Hamas,” prompting backlash from civil rights organizations who say the move was unlawful.

Trump, for his part, spent Saturday golfing at his Florida resort and has not commented on the nationwide demonstrations. He did, however, defend his economic plans on Truth Social.

As protests erupted nationwide over the weekend in response to Trump’s escalating policy agenda, the most prominent voices weren’t celebrity activists or high-ranking political figures, they were the people on the ground, organizing, marching, and demanding change.

In Los Angeles, the mood was urgent but resolute as speakers took the stage to denounce what they view as a creeping authoritarianism and a deepening wealth divide. The event, like many across the country, was defined not by high-profile headliners, but by local organizers and everyday citizens who’ve had enough.

“We believe in unionizing more workplaces and holding greedy bosses and the rich accountable,” said Alex Vargas, chair of the California Young Democrats labor caucus. “We’re seeing the largest transfer of wealth since the Gilded Age. More people at the top have that wealth and we get nothing.”

The reasons for showing up were varied, but the common thread was disillusionment with a government that, many said, is failing to serve its people.
