In mid-February 2025, concerned readers flooded Snopes' inbox with questions about an alleged post from U.S. President Donald Trump and the official White House social media accounts that called Trump "the king" alongside an image of him wearing a crown.
The White House"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!" –President Donald J. Trump

The biggest problem with this military parade is the political nature which is pitting one side against the other INSTEAD OF EVERYBODY uniting to celebrate our military.
I'm extremely critical of the self serving interests in the military-industrial-political-media complex that serve as gatekeepers of propaganda to serve their ethics violating agenda.
However, the actual military, which consists of the dedicated, brave and patriotic men and women who serve our country with pride, dignity and valor can't get enough recognition.
Ww owe them a great deal and its impossible to OVER recognize their contributions. When the US has participated in one of their very unjustified wars or attempts to meddle in other countries affairs, these men and women have been used unfairly because of their loyalty to serve their superiors in endeavors based on a commitment to serve our country.
They are not to blame and in fact we should empathize with them even more when our corrupt politicians and others use and abuse them for their personal agendas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uxc40NL-Y8 and if you watch this short video right here it will show this protests to be pushed and funded by the lunatic fringe left who will not hold illegals with court orders and detainers for 1 hour for ICE to pick up. This hypocrisy is not an 70/30 issue. Not an 80/20 issue. This is a 95'5 issue that these hypocrites are on the wrong side of and why these fake protests will fall flat except the damn illegal sanctuary cities are located. Almost funny that they do not realize the coincidence that these are the same cities the lunatic left abandoned and let burn just a couple years back. Madness at its most evil level right here.
Thanks, mcfarm!
Sad to see our country in the middle of a civil war!

"Tens of thousands"?
If that were 90,000 at 2,000 protests that would be 45 people/protest. I'm sure this was just a math error as the real number of Americans is likely at least an order of magnitude higher.
not so sure? Hell they cancelled that damn thing in Florida because "lack of interest"
Another great reporting job by our so fair and honest media. Local station in Indy searched and searched and found who to interview at the anti Trump rally? Well of course they came with a possible women with bright pink hair and a 20 year daughter. The mother was "fearful" for her daughter and worried Trump might killer her and hers. And to think if some crazed muslim was out beheading gays this mother would feel safer under Biden than Trump. This so typical of today's left. They have no chance after being indoctrinated for years and then pass it right along to their kids who then have chance either.

Thank, mcfarm and Larry!
This shows how extremely 1 sided the reporting is from both sides and people who disagree, go to their source to get news to strengthen what they want to believe and the rift between the 2 sides is more like the Grand Canyon.
Just some of my own points.
1. The No Kings Protests were huge in the blue states. Indianapolis, being in a red state was busy cheering for Trump's 25 million dollar military parade. Which actually INCREASED the numbers of the protesters in the blue states.
2. Comparing 2025 to 2017 is an unfair, apples to apple comparison. If you want to compare it to the big protesting year, we need to use 2020. In 2017, Trump was only president for the first time for 5 months. He hadn't had the chance to do much to upset people yet. People not only know him from his first term but also the 4 years between his terms with strong impressions that were not there yet at the start of his 2017 first term.
3. He was not being an authoritarian president, in 2017 like he is now so we can assume that part is brand new which is the biggest incentive to protest.
4. In 2020 the protesting was about George Floyd so that too is an unfair apples to apples comparison. Just the name and organization of the protests tells us the difference:
2020 George Floyd protests
2025 No Kings protests and Hands off protests(against Trump being an authoritarian president)
2017? Was there even a name?

Hey Mike,
Regardless of biases, which I recognize, I will say that based on my own judgement the amount of peaceful protests against the Trump admin are way higher than that against any other Pres in my memory. I’m sure that social media, which continues to have a greater influence, is a big enhancing factor.
For sure, Larry for sure!
I provided the list of different protests against Trump and its incredibly long!
To be honest, I thought that the protesting was going to get going like this a coupe of months ago.
It's nice to see that it seem like the vast, VAST majority of the protesting has been peaceful.
The civil rights protests were not against a president.
The Vietnam war protests on the other hand were targeting our government.
