Army veteran goes viral for powerful 'no kings' Trump protest message

An army veteran gave a powerful speech at Saturday's "No Kings" protest (June 14) against Donald Trump and his administration saying he'd fight for his country "but not for this jerk".

Millions of protesters gathered across the US, marching against the Trump administration and their controversial immigration raids on the same day of the military parade in Washington commemorating the Army's 250th anniversary and Donald Trump's birthday.

While millions came out in protest, it's estimated Trump's military parade had an audience of less than 200,000.
