JUST IN: US President Trump Slams ‘No Kings’ Protesters After Military Parade Undermined by Woke Mob’s Anti-American Agenda

Washington, D.C. – June 15, 2025 —
What began as a grand display of military might quickly turned into a political battlefield this weekend, as former President Donald Trump unleashed a fiery tirade against the nationwide “No Kings” protests that overshadowed his long-anticipated military parade.

Standing atop a patriotic red-white-and-blue podium, flanked by tanks, troops, and fighter jets slicing through the sky, Trump declared, “This is a celebration of America’s greatness — not a stage for woke mobs with anti-American agendas.”

But despite the spectacle, it was the protesters — not the paratroopers — who captured headlines, soundbites, and social media dominance.

The parade, marking the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, was billed as a historic tribute to the armed forces. With over 6,600 uniformed troops, 50 aircraft, and re-enactments of iconic battles, it had all the markings of a Hollywood-level tribute to American might.

But as the helicopters roared overhead and the national anthem echoed across the National Mall, another sound was growing louder just beyond the barricades: protest chants.

“No Kings! No Crowns! America is not a playground!”

‘No Kings’ Protests Drown Out Patriotism

From Los Angeles to Philadelphia, over 2,000 coordinated protests unfolded under the banner of “No Kings” — a movement pushing back against what demonstrators call Trump’s “strongman obsession” and “authoritarian cosplay.”

Washington D.C. itself saw tens of thousands flood the streets with placards reading “America is a Democracy, Not a Dynasty” and “Tanks Don’t Make You a Patriot.”

Even as Trump stood waving at the crowd, boos and chants could be heard piercing the military music, with reports suggesting that portions of the stands remained conspicuously empty, despite the heavy security presence.

And then came the most surreal moment: a group of MAGA donors sang “Happy Birthday” to Trump mid-speech — a cringeworthy intermission that immediately went viral.

Trump wasted no time blasting back. Just hours after the event, he took to Truth Social, calling the protesters:

“Radical left agitators who hate our country, our flag, and our military.”

He continued,

“They want to erase our heroes, silence our strength, and cancel our greatness. But guess what? They can’t cancel AMERICA!”

The former president even hinted at future consequences, calling for Congress to “investigate organizations funding these anti-American protests” — a comment that sparked immediate backlash from civil rights groups.

Across the country, scenes of unrest mirrored Trump’s fury.
• In Los Angeles, riot police deployed tear gas to disperse crowds blocking Wilshire Boulevard.
• In Portland, counter-protesters clashed with Trump supporters, leading to 12 arrests.
• A tragic turn in Minnesota saw a local state representative shot near a protest zone — with political motives suspected but unconfirmed.

Despite the chaos, the “No Kings” coalition released a unified statement late Saturday night:

“We protest not against America, but to protect it from tyranny. This is not about disrespect — this is about defense of democracy.”

While Trump loyalists praised the parade as “a glorious show of American strength,” critics slammed it as a taxpayer-funded birthday bash with authoritarian undertones.

Senator Elizabeth Warren called it “a dictator’s dream, complete with tanks and adoration.”
Meanwhile, even some Republican leaders kept their distance, wary of being tied to what many saw as an over-the-top personal tribute.

Polls from an overnight NBC snap survey showed a deep divide:
• 41% approved of the military parade.
• 57% believed the protests were “a justified act of democratic dissent.”

Perhaps nothing captured the absurdity of the day more than the moment Trump paused mid-speech to smirk while the crowd awkwardly sang “Happy Birthday.” One viral tweet said:

“Imagine turning a national army celebration into your own birthday bash — the ego is the real firework show.”

Another joked:

“No kings? Someone forgot to tell Trump he’s not the emperor.”

In the end, the parade will be remembered not just for the tanks or the birthday tune, but for the clash it represented.

On one side: a president-turned-political force staging a muscular display of power.
On the other: a movement reminding him — and the world — that America was built on the rejection of kings.

The battlefield wasn’t foreign soil this weekend. It was the National Mall.

And the war? It was for the soul of America.
