President Donald Trump reiterated the success of his military parade, despite the fact that the event was overshadowed by protests across the nation.

The largest military parade in Washington in decades unfolded Saturday alongside hundreds of protests against it, and its chief organizer

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

Millions of demonstrators mobilized around the country as a smaller, subdued crowd gathered to witness the display of grandeur and might in the nation’s muggy capital.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

President Donald Trump kicked off an unprecedented military-style parade in Washington, D.C.—commemorating the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday—as millions across the country took to the streets to protest, rallying against his expanded immigration raids and a spending bill projected to slash healthcare access for millions.

Protests at the Rhode Island State House, India Point Park and across RI radiated defiance on the president's 79th birthday.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.
