Army’s 250th anniversary parade draws political divide on Trump’s birthday

White House Communications Director Stephen Cheung addressed the “No Kings” protests on the country on Saturday, describing it as “a complete and absolute failure with a small presence.”

Thousands of planned protests, which remained peaceful with the start of the 250th anniversary of the army, followed a week of anti -ice protests in Los Angeles and other cities.

Any organizers of the kings chose to hold demonstrations on the same day that the military parade coincided with the birth of President Donald Trump.

“The sad democrats and liberals prefer to support the illegal criminals and millions instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of our great army and science.” “But many Americans celebrate the celebration of brave men and women who made the final sacrifice and those who continue to serve our country.”

“It is a great honor to support our service members in our nation’s capital,” said MP Margori Taylor Green, R-G-Gh. “Thank you to every man and a woman wearing the uniform of your dedication and service to our country!”
