Hillary Clinton Just Hit On One Of Donald Trump's Biggest Insecurities With Three Words
At this point, we all know just how OBSESSED Donald Trump appears to be with crowd sizes at his rallies, inauguration, and events.
Even former President Barack Obama commented on Trump's fixation during his 2024 Democratic National Convention speech, when Obama seemed to suggest crowd sizes are akin to a penis measuring contest in the 79-year-old's mind.

Well, this weekend was Trump's anticipated parade in honor of the US military's 250th anniversary (and perhaps his birthday.) And, well, the crowd sizes looked something like this...

...while protests against Trump's presidency on that same exact day looked like this across the US.
It's a cheeky but honest comparison, and one that former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton couldn't help but poke fun at.

In a now-viral Instagram post featuring side-by-sides of Trump's parade and the protests, Clinton urged followers to "compare and contrast" the scenes — three simple words that now have people chuckling.
"Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America," she wrote in the post's caption. "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."
In response, people commented the nation-wide protest's name and chant: "No Kings."
And plenty commended Clinton for the not-so-subtle shade. "I love you so much for doing this, Hillary!!!" one person wrote. "The shade of it all!"

After a calm night, LA mayor shortens downtown curfew hours imposed after violent protests
LOS ANGELES (AP) — After a calm night in downtown Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass on Monday slightly trimmed the hours of a curfew imposed last week after days of violent protests and looting that followed President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Bass' announcement that the nightly curfew would be narrowed — it will start at 10 p.m. Monday, rather than at 8 p.m., and extend until 6 a.m. Tuesday — followed the disclosure that there were no arrests by police in the area on Sunday. The mayor's office said the slightly trimmed curfew time reflects a marked reduction in violence, vandalism and looting in downtown that followed the protests. When the curfew was imposed on June 10, officials said it was necessary to stop vandalism and theft by agitators looking to cause trouble. At the time, Bass said the city "reached a tipping point' after 23 businesses were looted. In a statement Monday, Bass said 'the curfew, coupled with ongoing crime prevention efforts, have been largely successful in protecting stores, restaurants, businesses and residential communities from bad actors who do not care about the immigrant community.' Bass has given no indication when the curfew will end. The curfew covers a relatively tiny slice of the sprawling city — a 1-square-mile (2.5 square kilometer) section of downtown that includes the area where protests have occurred. Last week, Trump ordered the deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the second-largest U.S. city following protests over his stepped-up enforcement of immigration laws. On Sunday, Trump directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against his administration's immigration policies.

Former Coast Guard lieutenant arrested and charged with threats to kill President Trump
A former Coast Guard lieutenant who received awards for skills in sharpshooting was arrested Monday for allegedly leveling a series of violent death threats towards President Donald Trump, according to newly unsealed court records. Peter Stinson, a resident of Oakton, Virginia, served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard until 2021 and also worked as an instructor for FEMA's Incident Command Systems, according to his criminal complaint. Prosecutors say he was also a self-identified member of the Antifa movement and used his X and Bluesky accounts to transmit multiple threatening posts targeting Trump from 2020 through this year. MORE: Georgia man charged with making threats against Senators Ted Cruz and Deb Fischer: DOJ For instance, in April of 2020 prosecutors say Stinson responded to a post from an X user saying "somebody ought sue [Trump's] a** off" by saying, "somebody ought to do more than sue the orange mf's a**" before adding, "it involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here." "I'd be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract. Who wants to join me?" Stinson said. "We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. Then, we can focus on the coronavirus itself." The complaint cites numerous other examples of Stinson replying to users with threatening language, suggesting he would "pull the trigger" to get rid of Trump or would be the "driver" if someone else were willing to assassinate him. MORE: Chilling details emerge in Minnesota shootings as Vance Boelter faces federal charges: 'Stuff of nightmares' Stinson's posts allegedly continued through the 2024 election cycle, and after the Butler assassination attempt on Trump, he wrote the following messages: "Most of us are not capable. As noted before, I'm not a good enough shot. Very few people are. Somebody needs to learn this lesson... You want to play in the big leagues, you need the talent. Luck is not a plan... Execution is critical." Stinson has not entered a plea to the charges and was ordered detained by a magistrate judge today in Virginia pending a detention hearing Wednesday.
