U.S. President Donald Trump took the stage on Saturday to address the crowd attending the Army's 250th Birthday celebration, which featured a parade showcasing U.S. military equipment earlier in the day.

President Trump described Saturday's military parade in D.C. as a "magnificent display" honoring 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.
