Amid widespread protests against US President Donald Trump and advisor Elon Musk, a protester dressed as Pikachu stole the spotlight in Washington DC. The individual, clad in a giant Pikachu costume, was seen marching among demonstrators, with videos of the moment quickly going viral on social media platform X. The quirky yet symbolic appearance drew attention to the ongoing "The Hands Off!" protest.
