The parade will honor the Army ’s 250th anniversary, which falls on the day Trump turns 79 .

In Washington and in all 50 states, organizers will be staging protests that could dwarf the parade in size.

A coalition of pro-democracy, labor and liberal activists is arranging a full day of counterprogramming to make the case that Trump is hijacking the celebration to venerate himself.

Trump has long championed a military parade.

Aides delayed and diverted him, telling him the U.S. didn't make a point of flaunting its hardware, a former White House official said.

Whether the parade comes off as a tribute to the Army or to Trump hinges on how Trump behaves in the moment, analysts said.
