WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>Thousands of President Trump\u2019s supporters descended on the nation\u2019s capital Saturday for a parade marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, a rare spectacle of military hardware and uniformed soldiers filing down American streets.<\/p>\n

The festivities, scheduled to coincide with Trump\u2019s 79th birthday as well as Flag Day, drew as much MAGA paraphernalia as American flags to Constitution Avenue. Attendees who spoke with The Times all expressed support for the president.<\/p>\n

But outside the expansive security perimeter for the event, in downtown Washington and beyond in cities across the country, demonstrations of the \u201cNo Kings\u201d movement<\/a> against Trump\u2019s rule countered his military display with a show of defiance.<\/p>\n

The parade kicked off early, with Trump leaving the White House for the festivities roughly 45 minutes ahead of schedule over weather concerns. He arrived to rapturous applause from the modestly sized crowd roughly 30 minutes before a light rain began. An opening video montage celebrating the Army made no mention of Trump, although videos aired at the Mall festival ahead of the official program did include images of the president in MAGA gear.<\/p>\n

The pageantry of equipment, and of troops rallying around the commander-in-chief, comes amid a fierce battle in federal court over Trump\u2019s use of the armed forces, one week after he federalized the National Guard and deployed it to Los Angeles<\/a>. A federal judge on Thursday ruled that the deployment had violated the law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the official program for the parade, drafted by the Army, offered wholesome patriotism to viewers and spectators that lent an Independence Day spirit to the festivities.<\/p>\n

A narrator walked through the history of the U.S. military as weapons and uniforms from each American war, starting with the Revolution, was marched past a podium where the president sat, alongside the first lady, vice president and secretary of Defense, among others.<\/p>\n

A parachute team jumped from the skies over the mall, historic aircraft flew overhead, and modern tanks rolled by throughout the evening. Dozens of planes and helicopters, hundreds of vehicles and thousands of troops participated in the event \u2014 just a preview of the festivities expected next year, when the nation marks 250 years since the United States declared independence.<\/p>\n

Trump had sought a military parade ever since his first term, when he fawned over the sight of a military march down the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es during a Bastille Day celebration in Paris. Saturday\u2019s event, according to an Army spokesperson, will cost between $25 million and $45 million<\/a>, depending on how much damage the tanks inflict on D.C. roads.<\/p>\n

Most revelers were enthusiastic at the sight of hardware that rarely makes it out for public viewing. Several attendees expressed excitement at the opportunity to celebrate the sacrifices and accomplishments of the Army.<\/p>\n

Ashton Earl, 30, a legislative assistant who lives in the district, stood at the edge of the parade route holding his 3-year-old daughter, Carol, up in his arms while his 4-year-old son, Hiram, sat on his shoulders, so they could both see the tanks rolling by.<\/p>\n

Both of them seemed to be loving the show \u2014 and being there with Grandma, their dad\u2019s mom, Beth, who stood with them.<\/p>\n

Earl said it had been a great event for the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor one, kids love trucks,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the great things about living in D.C. is you get to show your kids things they\u2019d never see anywhere else in the country,\u201d he added. \u201cI love my country, and I want them to as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in the midst of supporters, near the main bandstand, stood Kathy Straus, 63, of Richmond, Va. Straus held a protest sign reading, \u201c$45 Million = 1 Parade or Feeding 18,000 Vets for 1 Yr.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can spend our dollars a little more conscientiously,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI thought it was more important to share this message with people who are of a different mindset than me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of the start of the parade on Saturday, visitors posed alongside tanks, jeeps and other military vehicles parked along the Mall, part of a large \u201cfestival\u201d area between the Capitol and the Washington Monument. One stand near the Mall offered shirts for sale reading \u201cThe Big, Beautiful Military Parade,\u201d a reference to the similarly named spending bill that Trump is championing in Congress.<\/p>\n

After waiting in long lines, people cleared security checkpoints where they passed through metal detectors and had their bags \u2014 limited in size \u2014 checked by law enforcement. Inside, troops handed out bottled water for free from tents. \u201cTake as many as you want,\u201d one said. \u201cStay hydrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Brown, a 57-year-old Army veteran, had driven to the event from Ohio. On Saturday, he wore a shirt that said, \u201cJesus is my savior. Trump is my president,\u201d and a hat reading, \u201cAfghanistan War Veteran, U.S. Army.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown said he served from 2010-16, and deployed to Afghanistan for nine months in 2012 and 2013 before being medically retired. He told The Times that the parade was a great thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in the Army, and it\u2019s nice to have somebody who gives a s\u2014 about the military, especially the commander in chief,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if other countries are watching, they\u2019ll see we can flex our muscles, too, if we have to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of criticisms that such parades aren\u2019t commonly held in America, he said, \u201cthat\u2019s the problem \u2014 it\u2019s something America should have been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president has had a complicated relationship with the military. During his first term, Trump called service members killed in combat \u201csuckers\u201d and \u201closers,<\/a>\u201d according to his former chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John F. Kelly. Trump has denied the claim.<\/p>\n

While a handful of counter-protests took place in Washington ahead of the president\u2019s event, dozens more were held across the country. The \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests<\/a> brought out more than 2 million Americans to protest Trump\u2019s rule, according to their organizers.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal power isn\u2019t staged in Washington,\u201d the group\u2019s website read ahead of the event. \u201cIt rises up everywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands came out to demonstrate as part of the movement across Southern California, with additional large gatherings taking place in Philadelphia, New York and other major cities. But protesters turned out in smaller cities, as well, including some in the most conservative states in the country.<\/p>\n

In Idaho, where Trump prevailed with 67% of the vote in November, more than a dozen \u201cNo Kings\u201d rallies were scheduled. In Boise, a couple thousand protesters had gathered in front of the state Capitol building by 1 p.m., and crowds were still streaming in.<\/p>\n

There were sun hats and kids in strollers, wheelchairs and mountain bikes. American flags fluttered, along with the occasional LGBTQ+ banner. A single Mexican flag was wrapped around a young woman\u2019s shoulders. Law enforcement kept a low profile, and there were no obvious counter-protesters by the time speeches began.<\/p>\n

Les Herman, a 74-year-old Boise resident, joined the boisterous rally, he said, because \u201cthis country has gone too far right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a Vietnam veteran,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is personal. I went to a war that was unpopular\u2026I didn\u2019t live to come back to see what I see today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mirren Henny, a 27-year-old transplant from Glendora, texted back and forth with her parents, who were attending similar rallies in California, sharing photos of their signs. Henny\u2019s said, \u201cLady Liberty Welcomes the Tired not the Tyrants\u201d on one side, \u201cJD Vance ate my cat\u201d on the other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here because I oppose a lot of what Trump\u2019s imposing,\u201d she said as the crowd chanted, \u201cNo kings! No kings! No kings!\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s really scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration said it welcomes peaceful protests throughout the country. But that White House commitment was called into question when a federal judge in California ruled Thursday that Trump had violated the law<\/a> by federalizing the National Guard in response to largely peaceful demonstrations in Los Angeles protesting its immigration enforcement tactics.<\/p>\n

In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said he was \u201ctroubled by the implication\u201d inherent in the Trump administration\u2019s argument that \u201cprotest against the federal government, a core civil liberty protected by the First Amendment, can justify a finding of rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump wrested control over the National Guard troops from California Gov. Gavin Newsom to deploy 2,000 to Los Angeles<\/a> after less than 24 hours of protests across the city.<\/p>\n

Thousands more were later called to Los Angeles, as were hundreds of Marines.<\/p>\n

Late Thursday, following an appeal by the administration, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals put Breyer\u2019s decision on hold, leaving the forces in L.A. under Trump\u2019s control as the litigation continues.<\/p>\n

The legality of Trump\u2019s troop display in Washington was never challenged. But concerns persisted leading up to the parade inside the military that the visual of an Army march in Washington, at Trump\u2019s request, could feed into fears over the politicization of the military amid the ongoing crisis in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

Critics of the administration also expressed unease over their presence in an American city, blasting the parade as the sort of spectacle more expected from countries like Russia, China and North Korea.<\/p>\n

Security measures around the event were similar to those put in place during other major events in Washington\u2019s downtown core since Trump\u2019s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed attempt to keep Trump in office after his 2020 loss to President Biden.<\/p>\n

The insurrection caused widespread damage to the Capitol and put many lawmakers at risk. Trump pardoned all of the Jan. 6 defendants shortly after he was reelected.<\/p>\n

Jeanette Mangia, 46, stood on the National Mall on Saturday afternoon waiting for a friend \u2014 a \u201cfellow J6er,\u201d as she put it.<\/p>\n

Mangia was among those charged with participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection. She faced a dozen charges, including multiple assault charges, she told The Times, and was in jail for seven months before Trump won reelection and issued the pardons.<\/p>\n

She had driven down from Pennsylvania for the parade. It was her first time back in Washington since her release, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels kind of strange, know what I mean?\u201d she said, pointing around the Mall. \u201cI seen these streets every time I went back and forth to court\u201d from jail.<\/p>\n

Mangia had a \u201cTrump 2028\u201d hat on, and said she wants him to run again \u2014 which the Constitution forbids \u2014 \u201cif there\u2019s no better option.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the lesser of two evils, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She was hoping to meet up with a group of other so-called J6ers on Saturday to make some kind of statement about their deserving compensation for being jailed, she said. \u201cSome people want millions. I don\u2019t want that,\u201d she added. \u201cI just want to be made whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
