Hillary Clinton reignited her long-standing feud with Donald Trump using a sharp, three-word jab that quickly went viral. The moment came as Trump hosted a military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the U.S. military’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday. While Trump’s team claimed a turnout of 250,000, over 4 million reportedly joined “No Kings” protests nationwide—demonstrations opposing Trump’s perceived authoritarianism. Clinton seized the contrast by posting side-by-side images of the parade and protests on Instagram with the caption, “Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.” She followed up with a biting remark referencing Trump’s “low-energy Dear Leader parade” and concluded with the protest slogan: “Here, we have no kings.” Her post drew admiration from supporters, many calling it “iconic” and “savage.”
However, conservative backlash was swift and intense. Critics accused Clinton of mocking the military and dishonoring the parade’s purpose. Commentator Benny Johnson called her post disgraceful, while retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson mocked her failed presidential run with, “We don’t have queens either.” Clinton’s supporters defended her stance, arguing it spotlighted the growing unease with Trump’s political symbolism. The exchange illustrates how deep the Clinton-Trump rivalry remains in American politics. Even years after leaving public office, Clinton’s sharp rhetoric continues to ignite national debate and provoke strong reactions—proving that her political instincts and influence remain potent.
