Only Donald Trump would hold a military parade on his birthday in a country where the concept of marching soldiers through the street isn't very common

Approximately 5 million turned out against Trump at the "No Kings" protests; turnout for Trump's military parade appeared to be in the thousands.

Social media users think they've spotted Melania Trump's 'reaction' to her husband's actions at his multi-million dollar military parade. The parade, which took place on Saturday (14 June), was to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US armed forces, but coincidentally also took place on the President's 79th birthday.

The parade - which which fell on Trump's 79th birthday - involved nearly 7,000 soldiers, flyovers and fireworks.

Former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci, who is now a vocal critic of his onetime boss, slammed Trump for “threatening state sponsored violence on citizens exercising their first amendment right” and called Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to “grow a backbone” and speak out to “reject fascism.”
