President Donald Trump has issued a warning for anyone planning to protest at his birthday military parade on Saturday.

Trump told reporters, during a briefing at the White House on Tuesday, that any demonstration at the parade "will be met with very heavy force."

The president added that he hadn't heard about plans for protests at the event, but he appeared to expect some dissent on the day, adding, "these are people who hate our country."

1. Fuck you, draft dodger

Go ahead, show up in a tailored-made uniform festooned with as many medals, tabs and devices as you desire, you fucking, cowardly globule of phlegm.

Do it, see what happens.

I hope that colostomy bag explodes while you sit your fucking fat ass on your faux golden throne.

2. Just about the only crowd he's likely to have is the military FORCED to be there...

The rest of us will be at 1800+ protests across the country in nearly every locale EXCEPT DC. If MSM does not give THAT the massive coverage it deserves then we are sunk.

[Blues Heron]

27. I'm not getting this "except dc" thing- there will be protests in DC it's silly to pretend otherwise as so many are

You really think this is going to be ignored in DC a city of 700,000 people that mostly despise Trump? This “leave DC alone” move is one of the weirdest, divisive, self goals in recent history.

[hlthe2b]

32. There will be no sponsored "NO KINGS" protest in DC... That was intentional. Others, obviously may protest...

If you don't believe me, go to the No KINGS site that is available for signups. Maryland, or Northern VA would be your options.
That is part of a concerted effort to divert as much attention away from his debacle as possible. Even major network news are not going to cover it in full, but rather send it over to their streaming alternatives.

[Blues Heron]

35. Luckily "no kings" don't have the last word on when, and where, people can exercise their free speech rights

[hlthe2b]

36. NO ONE said they DID! Wow! You really have issues with these protests, don't you?

I'm sure plenty of fawning people will lovingly attend Trump's horrific tanks on the street birthday celebration. But, far more people of this country will be protesting at 2000 PEOPLE-sponsored events throughout the nation. Do you not realize that individuals throughout the nation VOLUNTEER to sponsor and organize these protests in cities and towns and hamlets through the country. There is no "George Soros" (or whoever the RW claims is behind the "No Kings" movement). Are the latter your colleagues, or are they decidedly NOT in your view? It sounds like the latter, sadly, and I'm frankly pretty appalled.

[Blues Heron]

37. because people keep saying there wil be no protests in DC which is just not true. Just setting the record straight

Their strategy of ignoring the actual parade is just plain dumb. What are the residents of DC supposed to do - go to Philly? Yeah right.

[hlthe2b]

38. You can do whatever you damned well please, obviously. Here is the reasoning for no NO KINGS protest in DC:

It makes tremendous sense to me and most but YMMV

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

39. Thanks! Don't need you permission though, thankfully. Here is a March for peeps in DC- Logan Circle to the White House

https://refusefascism.org/2025/05/28/june-14-trumps-military-parade-must-be-opposed/

Every time I read that idiotic no kings statement I just cringe. This is all hands on deck, everywhere, especially at the locus of this nightmare, DC. Do not let this go unopposed in DC!

[hlthe2b]

40. Why are YOU even here if you so detest liberal progressive protests like "No Kings?"

Really? They have laid out that the reasoning in not having DC protests-- which you obviously don't give a GD about-- and even have established a DC-located alternative (at the bottom of their rationale, that I provided you in the previous reply). You can participate or not, but why do you feel so inclined to lash out at the effort and the millions of progressives that are likely to participate across at least 2000 protests in every state and US territory--and by extension every DUer that is supporting No King efforts? No, you do not need our permission to do as you please but you don't get to escape being called out when you try to piss on our efforts either.

3. Protestors hate YOU

We love our country and hate your attacks on it.

[ananda]

4. For me that would be bait to a fish...

and make me want to jump in and protest even more!

[Magoo48]

17. Yup, sounds like a challenge.

[DinahMoeHum]

5. Yeah, okay, TACO

Neah neah-neah neah neah booga booga booga

[SergeStorms]

6. No, Donald, we hate YOU!

We love our country. We hate anyone who wants to turn our country into Nazi Germany.

[nwliberalkiwi]

7. Paint Up The Parade

Balloons full of paint have a target awaiting.

[flashman13]

14. I was thinking balloons. What color? Yellow comes to mind in honor of bone spurs everywhere.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

24. Too bad San Antonio isn't in the NBA finals.

They could be the Bone Spurs for a day.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. There will be people at the parade who hate this country, ...

... and their names are Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Homan, DeVos, Gabbard, etc, etc.

[Bohunk68]

28. Remember Sadat's Parade?

Didn't work out too well for Anwar.

[chowder66]

41. No I didn't! I was a sophomore in high school.

I don't recall that but did just look it up. I remember hearing about his death but I really don't recall any details about it.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

10. No reporter has the courage to ask about the First Amendment.

Would protesters silently holding "NO KINGS" signs be "met with very heavy force"?

Or just sitting on the ground wearing "NO KINGS" tshirt?

I anticipate there will be paid disruptors to give TACO a visual he can use to further increase his power.

Signs of support such as "YOU ARE NOT "SUCKERS AND LOSERS" and "I STAND WITH THE SOLDIERS -- NOT A FAKE KING" would also be appropriate.

[NBachers]

11. Sadat Beckons . . .

[Vinca]

12. Makes you want to show up to watch wearing a chicken costume.

[Cha]

13. I got something for the Traitor.. Fuck Off.

[Mr.Bee]

15. The president added that he hadn't heard about plans for protests at the event

because he only watches FoxNews where everything agrees with him.

[Marie Marie]

21. Oh he HAS heard about these planned protests and is trying to

scare everyone away from them. Well, I'll be at mine. Don't worry Donald, we won't be AT your vanity parade but we will be everywhere else, in many cities in every state in numbers that you are not going to like Deal with it!

[GB_RN]

16. It's Strange...

If we hate this country so much, why are we still here? I mean, we all could have moved to Canada or something…

Such a stupid accusation.

[CaptainTruth]

18. "very heavy force", Trump's going to sit on them?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

25. That's just Trump proudly showing off his fourth grade vocabulary.

He’s easily the most stupid president in my lifetime and I can remember back to LBJ.

[calimary]

19. I must say I'm getting pretty damn sick and tired of the donald's warnings.

And no, donald, these are NOT "people who hate our country." They (and we) are people who hate YOU!!!

[niyad]

20. Projecting again, been a dick donald. We KNOW who hates this country,

and it isn't us.

[FakeNoose]

22. World's most hated asshole says what?

[Sneederbunk]

23. No time to demonstrate in DC.

Everybody will be busy at No Kings events throughout the nation.

[Blues Heron]

30. People do actually live in DC- 700,000 of them. I suspect there may be a protest or two at the parade!

It’s silly to think there won’t be protesters in DC- they need our support.

[travelingthrulife]

34. The point is that they will blame antifa like they did at J6. The only thing that saved

us from martial law on J6 was that no liberals were there, thankfully.

[Irish_Dem]

26. We don't hate our country, we hate YOU, you jackass.

[sandyd921]

29. To Trump: Hey you piece of garbage!

They have a legal right to protest!!!

[Canada Kid]

31. FUCK YOU ASSHOLE TRUMP

This fucking disgrace should not even be taking place! What are you gonna do?? Use the tanks to shoot people? Hope you choke on your fucking birthday cake! These people hate you... scumbag...and they seriously love their country!

[travelingthrulife]

33. Why would people want to attend a parade where they might start shooting at you?.

Maybe he will take out some of those MAGA faithful.
