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.

The Army pulled off a sweeping affair featuring more than 6,000 soldiers, 50 aircraft, and fireworks to cap the event highlighting its 250th anniversary.

Donald Trump has finally spoken out about his military parade on Saturday, which was held in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the US Army's 250th birthday and his own 79th birthday

Anti-Trump Washington Post columnist Max Boot admitted on Sunday that he "thoroughly enjoyed" the military parade honoring the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.

Nancy Wilson, of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Heart, and Grammy-winning pop star Lizzo both went on social media to express their displeasure over their music being used during the daylong celebration in Washington, D.C. Wilson took offense to the song “Barracuda,” off Heart’s 1977 album “Little Queen,” being used during Saturday’s parade.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.
