The big picture: The parade was being held as millions took part in anti-Trump demonstrations across the U.S., per "No Kings" protest organizers.

The U.S. Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on Saturday with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., against a backdrop of political division and protests savaging President Trump.

The protests were called No Kings. The 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

The grand military parade that President Donald Trump wanted for eight years has barreled down Constitution Avenue in Washington with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute.
