Critics of President Donald Trump’s administration are preparing to rally in hundreds of cities across the United States on June 14th.
The “No Kings” protests are set to take place during the parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C.
The Army’s parade had already been planned, but in early spring, Trump announced he intended to ramp up the event with 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and Paladin self-propelled howitzers rolling through the city streets.
Organizers say these protests are meant to counter what they see as Trump’s attempt to feed his ego by holding an event on his 79th birthday, which also happens to be Flag Day.
