President Donald Trump is 79 years old today — and several events, to celebrate and counter it, are planned.
“No Kings” protests took place Saturday, June 14, to counter the president’s 79th birthday plans to “feed his ego” with a military parade, including nearly 80 in Florida and a few down the road from his private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. The U.S. Army also is celebrating its anniversary with an event in the heart of Washington, D.C., where Trump is celebrating his birthday.
In his home state, however, thousands have protested the president, his administration and his birthday celebration.
“President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else,” the website states.
As protests continue in Los Angeles County, California, in response to immigration raids, over 1,000 protests have occurred across the United States on June 14.
Below are photos of the protests in Florida as Trump celebrates his 79th birthday in Washington, D.C.
