Hours before the first tanks started rolling in the America 250 military parade, thousands of people took to the streets throughout the Washington, DC, region to protest Donald Trump and his administration.

On Saturday, a military parade will end with fireworks to mark the Army's 250th anniversary, which also happens to coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday and Flag Day. The 'No Kings' protest are set to counter what organizers say are Trump's plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday.

Late-night television laughs at the lackluster showing for President Donald Trump's "big stupid birthday parade" as they contrast the sleepy VIPs, squeaky tank and drones being held aloft by soldiers to the millions that turned out across the nation for "No Kings" protests.
