Americans get a chance to fight back against Trump--and his dumb parade

Opponents of President Donald Trump are planning to flood the streets of hundreds of cities on Saturday, countering his birthday blowout and military parade with protests collectively dubbed “No Kings Day.”

The mass mobilization lands on June 14—Flag Day, the Army’s 250th birthday, and Trump’s 79th birthday. What was once billed as a modest, patriotic celebration is now shaping up to be another taxpayer-funded ego trip for Trump.

“This country doesn’t belong to a king,” said Indivisible, one of dozens of advocacy groups behind the protests. “No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.”

What is Trump’s military parade?
Trump’s parade is set to begin Saturday at 6:30 PM ET, following a daylong Army birthday celebration on the National Mall. While the Army’s 250th was already scheduled, Trump intensified plans this spring by ordering tanks and howitzers into D.C.—a desire of his dating back to his first term.
