A new AP-NORC poll reveals that a majority of U.S. adults believe the upcoming military parade to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army is not a wise expenditure of government funds. The parade, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day, has sparked opposition across the country. “No Kings” protests are planned in numerous cities to counter what organizers perceive as Trump’s self-serving intentions on a day of national significance. These protests are organized by the 50501 Movement, representing Americans who advocate for democracy and oppose what they view as authoritarian actions by the current administration. The movement’s name symbolizes unity across the nation, with 50 protests in 50 states all under one cause. Previous demonstrations have criticized both Trump and former government advisor Elon Musk, highlighting concerns about Trump’s leadership style being akin to that of a monarch rather than a democratically elected leader. The protests aim to challenge Trump’s authority and demand accountability from the government.
