The parade, criticized by some Democrats for its high cost and timing on Trump’s 79th birthday, stood in contrast to the thousands of “No Kings” protests across the country and a “Refuse Fascism” demonstration decrying Trump’s policies just blocks from the White House.

Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.
