Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.

The president celebrates the 250th anniversary of the US Army as demonstrators hold "No Kings" events from coast to coast.

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.

More than 6,000 soldiers participated in the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. — including the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets.
