Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced sharp backlash on social media after mocking

President Donald Trump’s military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Conservatives and critics accused

her of showing “utter contempt” for the military, especially as she spent the weekend in the

Hamptons attending a wedding while publicly attacking the president.

Clinton posted side-by-side photos on X comparing Trump’s parade in Washington, D.C., with nationwide protests against the event.

Her caption read:

“Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. 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 images showed protesters in Los Angeles and Houston alongside scenes from the parade,

including a military flyover and tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue.

The parade drew over 250,000 attendees and coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day.

Meanwhile, thousands participated in “

No Kings Day” protests nationwide, some of which turned violent, particularly in Portland and Los Angeles.

Conservatives slammed Clinton’s post as disrespectful, with some accusing her of hating the troops and showing contempt for the military’s anniversary.

Others pointed to past controversies, including Benghazi, to question her respect for the armed forces.

The criticism highlighted the deep political divide over the parade and the Trump administration’s policies.
