President Trump's $45 million military parade in Washington, D.C., showcased 6,600 soldiers, 28 tanks, and corporate sponsors like Coinbase, which donated $1 million to his inaugural committee. The event coincided with his 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.

While tanks rolled down the National Mall, millions nationwide participated in 'No Kings' protests, opposing what they perceive as Trump's authoritarian tendencies. Critics likened the parade to displays in regimes like North Korea, questioning the use of military force for political spectacle.

Despite the grandeur, the parade faced logistical issues, including rain delays and sparse attendance, with many viewing it as a costly, self-aggrandizing event rather than a unifying national celebration.
