• Around eight million people joined “No Kings” protests across 3,300 locations in all 50 US states
• Demonstrators criticised Trump administration over Iran tensions, immigration policy and inflation
• White House dismissed protests as “therapy sessions,” saying they do not affect the public
Millions of people took to the streets across the United States on Saturday as part of the nationwide “No Kings Rally,” a coordinated protest movement against President Donald Trump. According to media reports, around eight million people participated in demonstrations held at more than 3,300 locations spanning all 50 states, marking one of the largest protest waves against the administration.
Organizers said the turnout was significantly higher than previous rallies held under the same banner. Compared with the October demonstrations, the latest protests reportedly saw about one million additional participants and nearly 600 more events across the country.
Protesters voiced anger over several policies of the Trump administration, particularly escalating tensions with Iran, stricter immigration enforcement measures and rising inflation. Demonstrators in many cities carried placards criticising President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, with some calling for their removal from office.
This was the third nationwide “No Kings” protest since the movement began. The first large-scale demonstration took place in June 2025, followed by another in October 2025. Responding to the protests, the White House dismissed them as “therapy sessions,” stating that they do not significantly affect the general public, while Trump insisted his policies are aimed at strengthening the country.
