Trump, The parade and protest
Digest more
As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.
Organizers behind the “No Kings” movement said the protests “come in response to President Trump’s escalating use of military force in American cities and a federal agenda that would strip health care from 16 million people while expanding ICE raids targeting immigrants and protestors,” according to a press release.
Millions of demonstrators mobilized around the country as a smaller, subdued crowd gathered to witness the display of grandeur and might in the nation’s muggy capital.
