Trump's Birthday Military Parade to Be Held on Saturday, with "No Kings" Protests Erupting Simultaneously in 2,000 Cities Across the U.S.

BlockBeats reported on June 13 that this Saturday (June 14) marks a significant day coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, Donald Trump's 79th birthday, and Flag Day in the United States. Earlier, Trump announced plans for a "grand spectacle" on this day, featuring a large-scale military parade. He promised that the event would "surpass the World Cup and the Olympics" in grandeur, highlighting cannons, soldiers, and fireworks, aiming to create a "spectacle."

At the same time, Trump’s opponents are planning to stage even larger nationwide protests on that day.

Progressive groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), American Federation of Teachers, Planned Parenthood, and Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign office, are organizing peaceful demonstrations across more than 2,000 locations in the U.S.

These protests, dubbed "No Kings Day," aim to oppose what organizers describe as Trump's overreach of authority. Event leaders estimate that participation could exceed the turnout for April's "Hands Off" protests, which drew at least 3.5 million participants. This could potentially become the largest protest against Trump in his second term, comparable to the "Women’s March" held during his first term.

Trump has already warned this week that "very strong force" will be used against protestors during his parade. The Pentagon has stated that the cost of the presidential parade could reach $45 million. (Jin10)
