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.

Meanwhile, "No Kings" protests were scheduled in all 50 states to counter Trump's celebration, in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Boise.

The "No Kings" protests have taken aim at President Donald Trump's policies, particularly his decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles.

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

The grand military parade that President Donald Trump had been wanting for years barreled down Constitution Avenue on Saturday with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute.

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

More than 1,000 demonstrators are expected to rally in West Palm Beach today for 'No Kings Day,' a nationwide event protesting Donald Trump on his birthday.

Natalie Benny, a board member of Alabama Equality, which advocates for the rights of LGBTQ Alabamans, spoke to the crowd, gathered in a large empty lot, from the back of a pickup truck before the march. She spoke about anti-trans rhetoric.

Residents gathered in droves across Tampa Bay on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump, his scheduled military parade in Washington D.C., his recent policies over immigration and the mass deportations happening across the country.
