The U.S. Navy has gone all out to impress Donald Trump with a show of military might after he was reportedly disappointed with June’s 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army that doubled as his 79th birthday party.
The president attended the extravagant military event on Sunday despite the government being shut down. The celebration in Norfolk, Virginia marked the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.
The Army’s event in Washington, D.C. on June 14 was overshadowed by “No Kings” protests that took place across the country attended by millions. The military anniversary event cost taxpayers $30 million, with footage of “lackluster” soldiers marching out of step going viral.
