Chris Hayes of MSNBC provided a humorous critique of President Trump's forthcoming military parade in Washington, D.C., coinciding with both the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and Trump's 79th birthday. The expected costs of the parade range from $25 million to $45 million. Hayes likened the event to authoritarian displays seen in North Korea and the Soviet Union, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of such a spectacle in America. He also noted Trump's threats of heavy force against protesters, amid various planned demonstrations against his presidency.
Donald Trump is holding a North Korean-style military parade, Soviet-style military parade through the nation's capital, something that we just don't do as a country.
Sorry, that's a funny sentence, the host said. My military parade.' He then pointed to some remarks from Trump this week in which he promised that protesters would be met with very big force and very heavy force.
Thousands of No Kings events are planned on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.
He didn't direct this at rioters or looters or people that broke the law. You know, he said protesters' would be met with very heavy force.
