‘Dozed off at his own birthday party': Donald Trump's ‘facecard' during the US Military Parade sparks meme-fest
'Tis is a big fat celebration for the birthday of the big boy! When the US Army's 250th anniversary coincides with the 79th birthday of the President of the United States of America, and the Commander-in-Chief calls for a celebration worth $45 million (estimated), the least you can do is have a good time! Turns out, even that pursuit fell flat! And the US Prez was caught quite 'bored' in the middle of the high-profile event. What happened? On June 14, the US President Donald Trump presided over a grand military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating both the US Army's 250th anniversary, which happened to be his 79th birthday. The event featured approximately 7,000 troops, 150 military vehicles—including M1A1 Abrams and Sherman tanks—and 50 aircraft, including WWII-era P-51 Mustangs. The parade began at the Pentagon and concluded at the National Mall, covering a route secured by an 18-mile perimeter and extensive drone surveillance. The celebration was part of the United States Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the nation's founding. However, judging by Trump's face, it was less of a celebration for him, as one internet user pointed out, 'It's your birthday. It's Saturday night. But you made one critical mistake: You threw a $45 million parade for yourself without realizing you'd be bored out of your mind.' Trump facecard gone wrong! Although the parade was supposedly a realization of Trump's long-held desire for a military display, inspired by his experience at France's Bastille Day celebrations in 2017, the event faced criticism due to its estimated cost of $25–$45 million, especially amid ongoing government cost-cutting measures. Moreover, critics viewed the parade as a display of authoritarianism, with some Republican voices also expressing concern. The absence of bipartisan political leaders at the event further fueled perceptions of a personalized spectacle. However, nothing matched the intense meme-fest Trump's facecard sparked – all over social media! Looking visibly 'bored', and 'irritated' to a great extent, the US Prez was seen quite miffed. Not just that, some even claimed that Trump probably dozed off during the ongoing military parade! The online frenzy! As Trump's 'bored' facecard went viral on social media, one internet user asked Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, 'why Trump looks grossed out on the picture,' to which Grok replied, 'It's unclear exactly why Trump appeared "grossed out" in the photo from the Army's 250th anniversary parade on June 14, 2025.' However, Grok made a list of 'possible factors' of Trump being grossed-out that included: '1. Nationwide "No Kings" protests against his policies, though none were in D.C. 2. Light rain during the event, which might have caused discomfort. 3. A personal reaction to something specific, like a comment or minor incident, though no such event was reported.' Some internet users even started crying from lauging too hard, and commented, 'Holy shit this is so funny! Spend the past week hyping up this military parade and telling people to not worry about the No King rallies while the rallies in buttfuck nowhere Alabama probably had more people at it then the parade.' While some netizens deemed this to be their 'favorite picture of Trump ever,' another bunch called it, 'I think that is his it's going in the diaper face!' One internet user even pointed out the utter confusion of the guy sitting right behind him, 'guy on the right is trying to figure out where that dirty diaper smell is coming from!'

Hollywood stars Mark Ruffalo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel and more join ‘No Kings' protests against Trump's military parade
As U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary with a military parade in Washington, celebrities across Hollywood have taken to the streets in cities from Los Angeles to New York, standing alongside thousands of Americans in the 'No Kings' protests. The rallies, timed to fall on Trump's birthday, target what demonstrators describe as his authoritarian ambitions and attacks on democracy. In Los Angeles, actors, musicians, and comedians marched with signs and shared their message online. The White Lotus star Natasha Rothwell posted a photo of herself holding a sign reading 'You are trash,' with the blunt caption: 'NO KINGS.' Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined the outcry, sharing an image of her sign: 'The only monarch I like is a butterfly.' Her post was tagged simply, '#nokings.' Singer Olivia Rodrigo added her voice, posting a photo of a protest sign with a crossed-out crown and the words 'in our USA.' Meanwhile, That's So True artist Gracie Abrams documented the scene on Instagram Stories, sharing shots of crowds with slogans like 'Free speech is not an insurrection' and a quote from Desmond Tutu: 'If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.' In New York City, actor Mark Ruffalo was clear about why he stood in the rain alongside thousands. 'Because we see our democracy is in real trouble,' Ruffalo told MSNBC. 'We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator, and we don't see an opposition that's powerful enough to stand up against the trampling of our rights and the trampling of the Constitution.' Ruffalo criticised Trump's executive orders and his administration's immigration policies, calling out the separation of families and defiance of court orders. 'We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know that the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together,' he said. In San Francisco, comedian Jimmy Kimmel marched with his parents. 'A huge, inspiring and yes — peaceful — turnout in the South Bay,' Kimmel posted. 'I met many people who love this country and still believe it to be a force for good. The most important words ever spoken are 'Love one another.' It really is as simple as that.' Elsewhere, celebrities like Moby urged unity and action. Sharing protest footage, the musician wrote: 'No kings. We need to do everything we can to protect democracy: protest, donate, post, run for office, vote, organize. Also now is absolutely not the time for any in-fighting.' Los Angeles saw crowds filling downtown streets, with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Mary Elizabeth Ellis summing up the mood: 'Felt great to peacefully protest this administration in the streets today with fellow Los Angelenos. #LA always shows up.'
