Trump's birthday military parade will be held on Saturday, and "no king" protests will break out simultaneously in 2,000 cities across the United States

Odaily Planet Daily News This Saturday (June 14) is a major day that coincides with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US Army, Trump's 79th birthday and the US Flag Day. Trump said earlier that he would "make a big deal" on this day and hold a large-scale military parade. The event specifications will "surpass the World Cup and the Olympics". Cannons, soldiers and fireworks will be the highlights of the event, aiming to create a "spectacle". At the same time, Trump's opponents also hope to stage a larger-scale protest across the United States on that day. Progressive groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Federation of Teachers, Planned Parenthood and Senator Bernie Sanders' campaign office are planning to hold peaceful protests in more than 2,000 places across the United States. These demonstrations are called "No Kings Day" and are aimed at opposing what organizers call Trump's overstepping of power. Event leaders expect turnout to exceed the Hands Off protest in April, which drew at least 3.5 million people. It will likely be the largest anti-demonstration during Trump's second term, comparable to the Women's March during his first. Trump has warned this week that protesters will be met with "very strong force" at his parade. The Pentagon says the cost of a presidential parade could be as high as $45 million. (Jin Shi)
