Recently, Hillary Clinton took a sharp jab at Donald Trump’s obsession with crowd sizes by posting side-by-side photos comparing his military parade and nationwide protests.
Trump’s parade, held to celebrate the U.S. military’s 250th anniversary, reportedly cost \$45 million but drew an estimated 250,000 people.
In contrast, the “No Kings” protests held the same day attracted over 4 million people across the country.
Clinton’s Instagram post simply said: “Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America,” highlighting the stark difference between the low-energy parade and the massive peaceful protests.
The phrase “No Kings” quickly became a rallying cry, with many praising Clinton for her well-timed shade. Supporters applauded her for capturing the moment and spotlighting the political divide.
However, the post also drew heavy criticism from conservatives who accused Clinton of disrespecting the military and the parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday.
Critics also noted Clinton was attending a wedding in the Hamptons during the parade, questioning her priorities. Conservative commentators defended Trump and condemned Clinton’s remarks.
While Clinton’s post amused her supporters and went viral, it intensified the ongoing political battle and highlighted deep divisions in American politics.
