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 β 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, Trumpβs 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 nationwide 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!"
What are your thoughts on Clinton's response to the protests? Let us know in the comments.
