Hillary Clinton took a sharp jab at Trump’s latest military parade.
Hillary Clinton took aim at one of Donald Trump’s long-standing insecurities — the size of crowds at his events — using just three simple words that quickly went viral.
This past weekend, Trump held a military parade to celebrate the U.S. military’s 250th anniversary.
His team estimated that about 250,000 people attended the parade.
However, experts reported that over 4 million people across the country joined the “No Kings” protests, which took place on the same day.
This was reported by Newsner.
Clinton’s Viral Post
Hillary Clinton posted side-by-side images of Trump’s parade and the nationwide protests on Instagram. She captioned the post with a sharp comment:
“On the one hand, Trump’s low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.”
The phrase “No Kings” quickly became a trending slogan online, as many users praised Clinton’s post.
Mixed Reactions Online
Many supporters applauded Clinton’s post.
Some commenters called her remarks “perfect shade” and thanked her for speaking out.
One person wrote: “I love you so much for doing this, Hillary!!!”
Another added: “The shade of it all!”
However, her post also sparked strong criticism, especially from conservative circles.
Critics accused Clinton of disrespecting the U.S. military and questioned her decision to attend a wedding in the Hamptons instead of honoring the parade.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote on X:
“This witch was a few votes away from becoming commander in chief. This is what she thinks of our military. Man, @BuzzPatterson was right. Hillary hates the troops.”
Others, including Florida’s Voice assistant director and retired Air Force Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, shared similar views. Patterson wrote:
“And, we don’t have queens either. We have a duly-elected president…which you’ll never be.”
Clinton’s post captured a sharp political contrast and sparked intense debate online. Supporters praised her for highlighting the difference between Trump’s event and the protests, while opponents saw her comments as disrespectful.
