‘No Kings’ protests: Anti-Trump rallies erupt across US as military parade looms
The Times of IndiaSaturday, June 14, 2025 at 5:05:52 PM
Tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets in nearly 2,000 towns and cities under the slogan "No Kings" to protest President Trump’s leadership. The demonstrations, timed around both the Army’s 250th anniversary and Trump’s birthday, targeted what organizers called his "authoritarian actions," including controversial immigration raids. The protests add fuel to an already heated national debate about executive power and civil rights.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another rally—it’s a coordinated, nationwide pushback against Trump’s governing style, framed as a rejection of monarchy-like authority. With a military parade (a symbol critics call overly imperial) looming, the protests underscore deepening divisions over how much power a president should wield. Whether you agree with the demonstrators or not, the scale of these rallies signals a restless electorate as the 2024 election cycle approaches.
