The two previous No Kings events attracted millions of participants. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson in a statement dismissed ⁠the rallies as “Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions” of interest only to journalists. Saturday’s events come amid what organisers said was a call to action against the bombardment of Iran by the US and ​Israel, a conflict that is now four weeks old.
