The anti-Trump protest’s on the day Trump throws HIMSELF a Military Parade in Washington DC , like Putin and Xi do ?…..
It’s also his 79th Birthday and the US Army’s 250th…..
Will be all 5o States…
Planned protests against the Trump administration that are expected to be among the largest since the president’s second term began will be held across the country on Saturday.
The demonstrations will occur in all 50 states, and organizers have estimated that there will be roughly 2,000 of them — ranging from small groups in more rural communities to larger rallies in major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Denver. According to a map provided by organizers, there are some three dozen events scheduled in Indiana alone. Protests are also scheduled in other countries including Britain, Mexico and Germany.
They come as President Trump’s immigration crackdown and decision to deploy the military in Los Angeles have already led to large-scale protests there and additional protests in several other cities.
On the same day as the protests, Mr. Trump has scheduled a military parade in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary, which also coincides with his 79th birthday….

When asked on Wednesday whether, in light of his warning about using “very big force,” Mr. Trump would allow peaceful protests around the military parade, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, called the question “stupid.”
“The president absolutely supports peaceful protests,” she said. “He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard. He does not support violence of any kind. He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job.”
Mr. Trump addressed the “No Kings” protests directly for the first time on Thursday, brushing off their central message.
“I don’t feel like a king, I have to go through hell to get stuff approved,” Mr. Trump said, appearing to refer to the opposition he faces from Democrats. “We’re not a king at all, thank you very much,” he added….
