Late-night television laughs at the lackluster showing for President Donald Trump's "big stupid birthday parade" as they contrast the sleepy VIPs, squeaky tank and drones being held aloft by soldiers to the millions that turned out across the nation for "No Kings" protests.

On Saturday, a military parade will end with fireworks to mark the Army's 250th anniversary, which also happens to coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday and Flag Day. The 'No Kings' protest are set to counter what organizers say are Trump's plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday.

WASHINGTON (7News) — From sidewalks in Rockville, Maryland, to overpasses in Arlington, Virginia and parks throughout the District, thousands of demonstrators gathered Saturday as part of the national “No Kings” movement—one of the largest coordinated protest efforts since former President Donald Trump returned to office.

Elon Musk posted a cryptic message about the "No Kings" protests after activists took to the streets across the U.S. over the weekend.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

Rachel Maddow shows that despite Donald Trump's admonitions against protesting, and despite physical threats from local law enforcement, and despite genuine public safety concerns, Americans would not be denied their right to protest against Donald Trump and came out by the millions on Saturday for "No Kings" marches and rallies.
