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.

A group of about 30 people gathered at one of many Northern Virginia locations as part of the ‘No Kings Day’ nationwide protest Saturday.

Trump had long dreamed of holding a parade showcasing America’s military might, and this one featured a steady stream of Abrams battle tanks, a fleet of armored Stryker and Bradley fighting vehicles, a flock of artillery launchers, as well as Black Hawk, Apache, and Chinook helicopters.

A military parade​ through the streets of Washington, D.C., celebrates the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary today. These maps show the route.

The insults have compared the military parade to a plethora of small, intimate events ranging from July 4th cookouts to a normal night at a Golden Corral restaurant
