On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that he's restoring the name of Fort Robert E. Lee and other current or former military instillations that were previously named after soldiers that led the Confederacy during the Civil War.
The Republicans Against Trump account posted on X, formerly Twitter: "Donald Trump just announced he will restore the names of Fort Robert E. Lee and six other military bases honoring Confederate traitors. Because nothing says patriotism like honoring enemies of the United States."
Trump has used the Army's anniversary as the centerpiece for a military parade set for Saturday—an event that also marks his 79th birthday. Tanks and other military vehicles will roll through city streets, symbolizing how the Republican president is reshaping the armed forces following his return to the White House this year.
Serving as a counterpoint to the parade, "No Kings Day" protests are planned nationwide on Saturday, organized by critics who oppose what they view as the administration's increasingly authoritarian policies. Earlier Tuesday, Trump vowed to escalate immigration raids and warned that any further demonstrations would be met with an even stronger show of force.
