We went to a "No King" demonstration at the courthouse in Leesburg, Virginia.
The reasons are many, but the gist of it is that Trump is acting like he thinks he is king. He and his people are lying about things that we know are not true. For example, a Senator, Senator Padilla of California was taken to the ground and handcuffed after trying to ask a question at a press conference. This is so UN-American. Immigrants are chased down and taken away, It's just become a scary place and so against what American is all about.
Anyway, this was a demonstration that was held all over the US.
This evening there is going to be a huge and expensive military parade in Washington, DC. This is the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The Army was planning a celebration on the Mall in DC .
Trump latched onto the idea, and since it is also his 79th birthday he escalated it to ridiculous dimensions. From NBC:
The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.
That’s part of an estimated $45 million total cost for the June 14 military parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. The cost estimates have fluctuated as planning continues.
