Breaking: Trump’s Military Parade in Washington DC amidst Nationwide Protests
Washington, DC – Tanks Roll Through the Capital Despite Protests
Tanks are rolling through the capital, fighter jets are thunderous over the White House, and thousands of soldiers are marching in formation. Washington, DC, is transforming into a grand spectacle as Donald Trump’s long-cherished dream of a military parade comes to fruition.
On Saturday, June 14th, Washington DC will host a historic military parade from Donald Trump on his 79th birthday. This simultaneous celebration of the US Army’s 250th anniversary will involve an extensive display of American military might.
Where to Watch Trump’s Military Parade Live
For those not in the USA, you can follow the event through various live streams and TV broadcasts. Both CNN and Fox News will provide coverage of the parade, in addition to live streams on their respective YouTube channels, and the US Army will offer a live stream on social media platforms.
Due to the time difference, the parade will begin at 0.30 a.m. German time, which translates to 6.30 p.m. local time. It remains to be seen whether a German broadcaster will also pick up the live broadcast.
The Largest Military Parade in US History
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has promised that this will be “the largest and most beautiful military parade in the history of the United States.” Spectators in Washington DC will get the chance to observe over 100 military vehicles, modern fighter jets, and classic military aircraft.
President Trump has expressed his desire to make this spectacle a memorable experience for all. The route will start near the Pentagon, cross the Arlington Memorial Bridge, and end at the White House, where a large fireworks display and concert will follow.
Protests and Security Measures
Despite the grandeur of the event, nationwide protests under the motto “No Kings” are planned to coincide with the parade. Trump has warned of “very hard violence” against any demonstrations during the event, heightening tensions.
The president’s inspiration for this military parade comes from a similar large-scale event he witnessed in France in 2017. Despite initial project rejections due to high costs, it appears that Trump is determined to make his vision a reality.
