The White House and parade organizers said 250,000 people attended the June 14 event. Democratic figures and social media users disagreed.

The schedule of events in Washington leaned strongly into themes of patriotism and gratitude for the Army on its 250th anniversary. The festivities included a range of exhibitions, fitness competitions on the National Mall, a recruitment drive and showcases of historical uniforms and equipment.

Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.
