President Donald Trump praised the United States Army as the “greatest, fiercest and bravest fighting force” at the conclusion of a grand display of military might in the nation’s capital Saturday as the Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a parade.

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.

President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army today, bringing tanks and soldiers to the streets of Washington, D.C., for the capital's first major military parade in more than three decades.

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

The White House has said the administration was planning a historic celebration for the Army's 250th birthday. The Army was established on June 14, 1775,

The last time the United States held a national military parade was in June 1991, timed to welcome returning veterans of the 100-day Persian Gulf War.

Nancy Wilson made it clear she is not a fan of Donald Trump, and she was not happy that her band’s hit song was used during the president’s military parade on Saturday. The rock legend did so Saturday on Instagram. Wilson shared a photo of herself wearing a hate that read, “NO KINGS BUT US,” alongside her message.
