Trump's hilarious response on 'No Kings' protests planned on his birthday, says 'I have to go through hell...'
Washington DC is set to a host a military parade on Saturday to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The event will also coincide with the 79th birthday of US President Donald Trump, who says the parade will be "like no other". On Thursday, President Trump said he doesn't feel like royalty when asked for his response on the 'No Kings' rallies planned across the country in protest of his administrative policies. 'I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved,' Trump said. 'The king would have never had the California mandate. He wouldn't have to call up Mike Johnson and say, 'fellas, you have got to pull this off,'' Trump said, referring to House Speaker Mike Johnson. 'And after years, we get it done. No, no, we're not a king.' The President was said this in response to a reporter's question in the White House right after he signed three resolutions overturning California's mandate to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles and speed up the adoption of electric vehicles by 2035.

The military day parade- which the Army has said could cost up to $45 million (£33 million) - will include over 7,000 uniformed soldiers, dozens of tanks and military vehicles, plus marching bands and a fireworks show. Meanwhile, 'No Kings' protests against the Trump administration are planned in more than 1,500 cities across the US. Organisers are billing the demonstrations as a "nationwide day of defiance" in response to "corruption" in the government.

It also comes as Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are locked in a standoff over the use of the National Guard and the U.S. military to help quell protests that have sprung up in Los Angeles against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps carried out at the president's direction. There will be no planned "No Kings" protests for Washington D.C. Organizers said they intentionally avoided having a protest in the capital to avoid being cast as 'anti-veteran.' The largest protest is instead scheduled for noon ET in Philadelphia, where the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Netflix's 'Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster' footage leaves viewers horrified, netizens call it' death trap'
A video footage shared by Netflix from inside the Titan submersible has left viewers shocked and horrified and has revealed exactly how dangerous the sub which claimed the lives of five people really was. June 18 will mark two years since the Titan submersible tragedy, which claimed the lives of all five people aboard during a deep-sea expedition. The Titan, an experimental vessel built for underwater tourism, was intended to take passengers close to the Titanic wreck for $250,000 each. Among the victims were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, a university student, as well as Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The catastrophic implosion that caused their deaths captured the world's attention and sparked widespread mourning and debate.

The documentary shows a number of shocking moments including exclusive footage showing how Rush had fired one of his senior divers, David Lochridge, for raising health and safety concerns about the submersible, reports Ladbible. Live Events One detail in the documentary series has surprised viewers: a distinct 'popping sound' heard at various moments during footage from inside the Titan submersible. This sound is especially noticeable in a clip showing Stockton Rush piloting the sub alone during an underwater test.

Fans took to Reddit to discuss the documentary, with many expressing their utter shock at hearing the noises from inside the sub. One commented saying: 'The Netflix [Titan Sub] doc is the best yet. Those cracks & pops. My gosh,' while another said: 'My gosh. I've been following the Titan story since the sub went missing."

Titan's OceanGate's doomed expedition In June 2023, a tourist expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic went missing off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Over the following four days, the world came to know about Titan, the diminutive submersible its charismatic inventor, Stockton Rush, had touted as the key to unlocking deep-sea exploration for the masses. When pieces of the vessel were found at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, experts determined Titan had imploded during its descent, likely killing all five of its passengers instantly. The documentary film Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster focuses on the years leading up to the incident that dominated headlines, examining Rush's quest to become the next world-renowned change-maker, and culminating in the doomed underwater endeavor. The documentary film premiered on June 11 on Netflix.
