The parade came amid one of the most tumultuous weeks of Trump’s presidency, with troops in L.A., missiles launched in the Middle East and a targeted killing of a Minnesota lawmaker.

Thousands of Americans flocked to downtown D.C. in "Make America Great Again" hats and patriotic gear displaying Old Glory despite the balmy weather and thunderstorms brewing.

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.
