President Donald Trump deemed his multimillion dollar military birthday parade a “tremendous success” Sunday, despite it being dwarfed by the thousands protesting against his presidency on the same day.

A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Chris Hayes noted a difference in the atmosphere at the Army's 250th celebration in Washington, D.C., compared to President Trump's rallies.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took aim at one of President Donald Trump’s greatest insecurities on Sunday, needling him over the lackluster crowd at his Washington, D.C. military parade this past weekend.

"No Kings" marches in all 50 states were reminiscent of some of America's biggest debates, from Vietnam to civil rights.

Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., has voiced support for President Donald Trump ’s military parade, saying Americans should support it regardless of politics.

Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm whose contracts with the federal government are expanding, and Coinbase, a cryptocurrency firm that donated to the president’s inauguration, also sponsored the event. Oracle, a database company whose co-founder is a close friend of Mr. Trump’s, received a shout-out on Saturday as a sponsor.

The parade must go on, and the Army sidestepped a major crisis of image and messaging. The Army’s 250th birthday parade was not the grand military spectacle that many anticipated, and for that Americans can breathe a momentary, measured sigh of relief.
