Millions Protest Against Trump in Nationwide 'No Kings' Protests

Summary from the AllSides News Team

On Saturday, millions of people nationwide participated in "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration.

The Details: The "No Kings" rallies have been held to protest policies imposed by President Donald Trump, such as immigration enforcement, the Iran war, and the rising cost of living. Saturday's third round of protests involved more than 3,300 local events, with a "flagship" march in St. Paul, Minnesota, where two people - Renee Good and Alex Pretti - were killed by federal officers earlier this year. The protests were backed by about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenue. The lead coordinator for the protest was the  Indivisible Movement, a Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros. Arrests were made in Los Angeles, where dozens of protesters, including one with a dagger, refused to disperse. Another LA protester vandalized a federal building with the words, :Kill your local ICE agent."

Key Quotes: Organizers of the protests said, "Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies." A White House spokesperson called the protests "Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions".

For Context: The first "No Kings" rallies were held in June 2025 in response to President Trump's decision to hold a military parade in Washington on his birthday. Several news outlets on the left reported that the demonstrations were much larger than the crowds at the military parade, though some sources on the right called the military parade a success. The second "No Kings" rallies occurred last October.

How the Media Covered It: Fox News (Right bias) reported that the groups backing the protests included socialist and communist organizations calling for "revolution." These groups were funded by American tech tycoon and self-proclaimed communist Neville Roy Singham, who lives in China.
