A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

The size of the No Kings Day protests dwarfed the turnout for a military parade held in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, which was President Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

Thousands of people visited the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to see the rare spectacle of military hardware and soldiers filing down American streets.
