This unusual force demonstration in the United States – the last major military parade took place over 30 years ago, in 1991, after the Gulf War – is particularly significant for the beginning of a term in which the New York billionaire pushes the limits of presidential power.
“A terrible idea,” says Scott Konopasek, who served 15 years in the American army.
“We will celebrate our country,” Donald Trump boasts. Not even the time, which risks being stormy, does not concern him: “it does not matter, they do not disturb the tanks at all, they do not mind the soldiers, they are used, they are strong,” commented the president. “The weather conditions are closely monitored, but nothing changes at this time,” said the army on Friday.
“Who does not like a big celebration party for 250 years?”, Colonel Kamil Sztalkoper told AFP, referring to the anniversary of the American army celebrated on Saturday and anticipating a “very warm reception.”
Trump, in Russian uniform at “No Kings” protests
If at the military parade, with a budget estimated at $ 45 million, hundreds of thousands of spectators are expected, the “No Kings” protest movement (without kings) aims to be “the most important from Donald Trump's return to power.”
The slogan was launched before the protests against the brutal arrests of immigrants broke out in Los Angeles and spread throughout the country in recent days. They could increase the rows on Saturday.
In the Californian metropolis, the organizers hope to gather over 25,000 people and intend to raise a gigantic balloon in the air representing Donald Trump dressed in a Russian military uniform to protest his “paramilitary methods and his dictatorial tendencies.”
In New York, a parade is scheduled in front of Trump Tower, in Manhattan there is an “army of creative activism”. From Philadelphia to Phoenix, gatherings are provided in hundreds of other cities of all dimensions.
Trump threatens to respond to protests with “force”
Donald Trump has promised the protesters that he will respond “with a great force”, qualifying as “people who hate the country.” “The president is, of course, in favor of peaceful demonstrations,” the White House said.
In the first line of opposition to the Republican President since he decided to mobilize thousands of military in Los Angeles, California's Democratic Governor, Gavin Newsom, urged Americans to “resist” and “do not go” in front of an offensive speech.
The military parade “is the kind of work you see at Kim Jong, at Putin, at dictators around the world,” complains Newsom. “To honor him on the day of his birthday? Is it humiliating.”
The idea was long in the head of Donald Trump, inspired by the parade on Champs-ElysƩes on July 14, 2017, which he attended.
