On a day when the nation could have united to salute the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, it was over-shadowed by a man-child, craving attention, who in the past has exhibited “flagrant animosity and disrespect toward the military,” says author and activist Camillo Mac Bica. Likely the crowd size to honor the men and women who serve in today’s Army would not only have been larger, but perhaps more exuberant out of respect for their service.
Like everything else Trump inserts himself into, reality gets obstructed by his hyperbole and the fantasy world he creates for those too willing to bend the knee.
His mere presence at that parade diminished what this nation is capable of expressing towards our soldiers. He cast a pall over this salutary event, just like he sucks the air out of every room he walks into. He and only he is all that matters in the self-absorbed mind of a monarchical autocrat.
To a day that should have been focused on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, which we will have for years to come, the nation instead participated in something far more patriotic that we could easily lose in this generation. June 14th, 2025 will be written down in the history books as the day this country started to take back their constitutional moorings and stood up to the cowards who hide behind their wealth and power grabs.
May “No Kings Day” be sustained by us all in the days and weeks to come.
"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes." - Abraham Lincoln
