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.

Millions were expected to gather in “No Kings” demonstrations in over 1,500 cities on Saturday, the same day the Army is celebrating its 250th anniversary on Trump’s birthday.
