“Our great military parade continues standing, it rains or sunbathers. Remember, a rainy parade brings good luck. I see them all in DC,” wrote the president in his social truth network.
In other publications, The Republican leader congratulated Flag Dayhe said that today is “A great day for America”, and attached in his profile an image of several members of the Navy with what seems like a background military plane.
At the same time that this act will take place, various organizations have summoned more than 2,000 protests in the 50 US states to eclipse the parade and protest against what they call “authoritarianism” by the US government.
The parade, which coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday, It has been criticized by the conveners and other figures that consider that the president seeks to feed his ego with an event that is actually celebrated to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States Army Foundation.
The protest day has been baptized as ‘Day without Kings’, because the organizations behind them consider that the New Yorker is acting as one from his return to the White House, and also highlight that the president is using the army, which was founded to face precisely the British monarchy, to cover himself with glory.
Both the military parade and the ‘Day without Kings’ also arrive after a tumultuous week in which protests against aggressive raids against migrants from the Trump government have resulted in protests and disturbances in Los Angeles since last June 6, and have found support in other cities with hundreds of arrests throughout the country.
