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.

US President Donald Trump’s long-sought military parade rolled through the streets of downtown Washington on Saturday, but the celebration of the US Army’s 250th anniversary was marred by a day of discord and violence.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.
