Millions participated in more than 3,000 No Kings rallies across the United States on Saturday, March 28—the largest yet in the ongoing protest movement against President Trump's second term, surpassing previous waves in June 2025 and October 2025. Demonstrators opposed his approach to the presidency, the war in Iran, treatment of immigrants, rising living costs, and voting restrictions. A White House spokesperson dismissed the events as 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'
Protesters gathered in thousands of locations nationwide on Saturday, according to organizers, building on the No Kings movement's prior nationwide actions that drew millions in June and over 5 million expected in October amid a government shutdown. The rallies focused on opposition to President Donald Trump, with concerns over his authoritarian-leaning handling of the presidency, the ongoing war in Iran, harsh immigration policies, escalating living costs, and voting restrictions. NPR's Mara Liasson noted that the massive crowds signal strong Democratic energy ahead of midterm elections, highlighted by recent Democratic wins in Florida near Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
