March 29, LNW (Colombo): Widespread protests under the banner of “NO KINGS” have erupted across major cities in the United States, marking the third wave of demonstrations that organizers say have previously drawn millions of participants. The rallies reflect growing public dissent against the administration of Donald Trump.
Organizers state that the protests are driven by opposition to several key policies, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, intensified federal immigration enforcement measures, and the rising cost of living affecting many Americans. Demonstrators argue that these issues are placing increasing pressure on ordinary citizens while benefiting a select few.
In a strongly worded message, protest leaders declared that the movement stands against what they describe as authoritarian tendencies. They emphasized that democratic power lies with the people, rejecting any form of leadership they perceive as resembling monarchy or rule by elites.
The demonstrations, held in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, have seen large crowds gathering peacefully, with participants carrying signs and chanting slogans centered on democracy, accountability, and economic fairness. Authorities have maintained a visible presence to ensure public safety, though no major incidents have been widely reported.
Meanwhile, the White House dismissed the protests, with a spokesperson describing them as “Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions,” claiming they are largely amplified by media coverage rather than widespread public concern.
Despite the criticism, organizers have pledged to continue the “NO KINGS” movement, signaling that further nationwide rallies could take place in the coming months as political tensions remain high.
