Trump turns 79, Army’s 250th anniversary and ‘No Kings’ protest… Rs 350 crore will be spent on celebrations in America

On Saturday (June 14, 2025), massive protests were held against US President Donald Trump in all 50 states of America. These protests started when Trump presided over a grand military parade in Washington DC on the 250th anniversary of the US Army and his 79th birthday.

Protests against President Trump’s policies

The protesters raised their voice against Trump’s dictatorial thinking and policies under the banner ‘No Kings’. They also criticized the domestic policies of the Trump administration. During the protest, clashes also took place between police and protesters in many cities. The protesters said that dictatorship will not work in America. The police used tear gas and flash bombs to disperse the crowd. The families and common people present there looked scared.

The military parade organized by President Donald Trump has been sharply criticized by his opponents. They say that this parade was done under the pretext of the anniversary of the US Army, but the real purpose was to brighten Trump’s personal image.

About Rs 350 crore spent on the parade

Opponents also say that there is no established tradition of military parade in America and such an event is being organized after 34 years, which cannot be considered normal.

Opposition parties and civil organizations have expressed displeasure over the Rs 350 crore (about 43 million dollars) spent on this parade. They called it a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Trump is also being accused of wanting to take political advantage of military power and weakening democratic institutions. His critics say that such a parade is against the democratic traditions of America.

Violence erupted after protest in Los Angeles

Last week, the US Immigration Department raided illegal immigrants and detained many people. Protests against this intensified in Los Angeles and soon turned into violence.

President Trump ordered the deployment of National Guards

To bring the situation under control, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of National Guards. This further increased the anger of the people and riots and arson started in the city. Although there is peace in Los Angeles now, the protests are still going on.

Protests against Trump’s policies were also seen in cities like New York, Denver, Chicago and Austin. People expressed their anger by taking out protest marches and said that the government’s policies are unjust and harsh.
