Washington Readies for Parade and Plenty of Rain

“President Trump prepared on Saturday to make a show of American military might with a parade of tanks, missiles and aircraft through the heart of the nation’s capital,” the New York Times reports.

“The celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States Army has already transformed into a test of wills and competing imagery, with demonstrators around the country decrying his expansion of executive power.”

“The parade is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.”

Trump said in a post on social media that the military parade would go ahead “rain or shine.”
