“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

Americans are demonstrating against President Donald Trump across the U.S. as counterpoint to the 200,000 people expected to attend the military parade in Washington.

The president, on his 79th birthday, sat on a special viewing stand south of the White House to watch the display of American military might.

Protesters gathered in hundreds of cities across the US to oppose President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, as he held a military parade in Washington.

A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.

The Texas Department of Safety evacuated the Capitol after identifying a “credible threat toward state legislators” attending Saturday's protest.
