Donald Trump has finally spoken out about his military parade on Saturday, which was held in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the US Army's 250th birthday and his own 79th birthday

President Donald Trump faced criticism online Saturday after his military-themed birthday parade drew a smaller-than-expected crowd near the Washington Monument. The event, held to mark Trump’s birthday and the 250th anniversary of the US military, was also met with heavy protests and bad weather.

In its forecast for June 14, the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with a thunderstorm possible after 2 p.m. Skies were expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, it added.
