On his 79th birthday, President Trump spent more than three hours on Saturday taking in the scene at a military parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

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.
