Law enforcement officials reported no arrests from the celebration in D.C. that drew several thousand parade watchers, with some demonstrators protesting against the show of military strength.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

On his 79th birthday, President Trump spent more than three hours on Saturday taking in the scene at a military parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
