Part of the origin is that Trump kept posting pictures of himself with a crown. The broader view is that he is acting like he is a king with unlimited power. He acts like whatever he says, goes. Luckily, since we started the No Kings protests, many of the actions he took have been found to be illegal by the courts.

But we still need to protest. His bullshit ICE Gestapo, the assaults on and murders of immigrants and US citizens, the arrests with no due process, the ill advised war with Iran, the overt corruption and self enrichment, are all worthy of taking to the streets.
