Thousands Protest Trump in Nationwide Demonstrations

Large-scale protests erupted across the United States on Saturday, June 14, 2025, targeting former President Donald Trump's participation in a celebratory parade. More than 1,500 demonstrators in various cities voiced their dissent, citing concerns over Trump's perceived authoritarian tendencies and the use of taxpayer money to promote his image. The protests, fueled in part by the group "Indivisible," coincided with the 250th anniversary of the US Army and Trump's 79th birthday. One protestor, holding a sign reading "No Kings But Him," stated, "We're here to show Trump that we won't stand for his abuse of power and misuse of public funds." Another participant added, "This isn't about a birthday party, this is about our democracy." The widespread nature of these protests underscores significant public opposition to Trump's actions and raises questions about the use of public resources for political purposes. The protests concluded peacefully, demonstrating the power of civic engagement.
