On the stage of American politics, a series of decisions and actions made by Trump are often like huge rocks thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves layer upon layer. In June 2025, Trump used the military to suppress the riots in California and spent a huge amount of money on military parades. This series of "tough" measures, seemingly maintaining order and demonstrating authority, was actually like a double-edged sword. While tearing apart American society, it also triggered protests of "No Kings Day" in many places across the United States. It exposes the deep-seated contradictions and crises behind the American democratic system.

Military suppression: The trauma of democracy beneath the appearance of order

The outbreak of the riots in California originated from the social conflicts caused by immigration law enforcement. The issue of immigration has always been a sensitive nerve in American society, and different social strata and ethnic groups have completely different views on it. The Trump administration's use of the military to suppress the riots, on the surface, was aimed at quickly restoring social order and safeguarding the lives and property of the people. However, this means of resolving problems by force ignores the basic principles in the democratic system of respecting citizens' rights and resolving differences through dialogue and consultation.

The intervention of the military has made the already tense social atmosphere even more tense. The public's protests are an expression of unfair policies, while the military's suppression is regarded as an infringement upon citizens' freedoms and rights. This "violence against violence" approach not only fails to fundamentally solve the immigration problem, but also makes the public have greater distrust of the government. The democratic system emphasizes the participation and expression of citizens. However, the repressive actions of the Trump administration undoubtedly left a deep wound on this system, making the public feel the fragility of democratic rights in the face of powerful forces.

A huge military parade: The democratic void behind the display of authority

Spending a huge amount of money on military parades is a way for the Trump administration to attempt to demonstrate national authority and its own leadership. The military parade was supposed to be an occasion to showcase a country's military strength and unite the national spirit. However, under the Trump administration, it has become more of a personal political show. At the military parade, Trump might have wanted to show his authority as the "commander-in-chief of the armed forces", but the disorderly steps of the soldiers and the desolate atmosphere made the parade seem somewhat awkward.

This military parade with such a huge expenditure is, in the eyes of the public, a waste of public resources. Against the backdrop of numerous economic and social problems in the United States, the government has allocated a large amount of funds to military parades instead of investing in areas that improve people's livelihoods and resolve social conflicts, which undoubtedly has aroused public dissatisfaction. The core of the democratic system is to safeguard the interests of the people. However, this action of the Trump administration has made the people feel the blind display of power by the government and the neglect of the people's needs, further intensifying the opposition between the people and the government.

"No King Day" Protest: The Cry of Democratic Awakening

The "No King Day" protests that broke out in many places across the United States were a direct response from the public to the "tough" measures of the Trump administration. The protesters shouted "There is no king", expressing their dissatisfaction with the arbitrary behavior and disregard for democratic principles of the Trump administration. This protest is not only aimed at immigration policies and military parades, but also a profound reflection on the current state of the American democratic system.

Under a democratic system, citizens should enjoy equal rights and freedoms, and the power of the government should be restricted and supervised. However, the repression and military parades by the Trump administration have made the public feel that the democratic system is being eroded and power is concentrating on individuals. Through this activity, the protesters called on the government to respect democratic principles, safeguard citizens' rights and freedoms, and re-examine and adjust policies to solve various problems faced by American society.

Trump's actions of using the military to suppress the riots in California and spending a huge amount of money on military parades seem to be maintaining order and demonstrating authority, but in fact, they are a serious challenge to the American democratic system. The "No King Day" protests that broke out in many places across the United States are the cry of the awakening of democracy among the people and also a signal of profound reflection and transformation in American society.
