Furious’ Trump Cancels Future Birthday Parades After ‘Embarrassing’ Showing In DC — As President Only Wants ‘Adoring Loyalists’ At Next Year’s Celebration

Donald Trump is reportedly furious after his highly promoted military parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday fell flat. The event, which cost around \$45 million, failed to draw the huge crowds or energy he was expecting, and now he’s scrapping plans for any future parades like it.

Trump had expected thousands of enthusiastic supporters waving flags, chanting his name, and soaking up media attention. Instead, the turnout was underwhelming, the atmosphere felt dull, and the parade was mocked online. One insider described it as feeling more like a sleepy weekday fair than a grand national celebration.

Adding to Trump’s frustration was the absence of many of his biggest MAGA supporters and Republican allies. The lack of familiar loyal faces in the crowd left him disappointed and angry. In response, he’s planning a complete change for next year’s birthday celebration.

Instead of another public event, Trump wants to hold a private, flashy party at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The new plan is to invite only his most devoted followers — people who will treat the occasion like a royal event, not just another birthday.

“He doesn’t want to see empty seats or hear silence,” the insider said. “If you’re not clapping, you’re not coming.”

The original parade had been expected to draw 200,000 people to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. There were military-themed activities like fitness contests and weapons displays, but the mood was low-energy. Even the armored vehicles moving through the streets made more noise than the scattered chants of “USA” from the sparse crowd. One man in an Infowars shirt shouted for tanks and complained that “people got no energy out here.”

Photos showed empty patches of grass and people more interested in food trucks than the actual event. Protesters also made their presence known, with thousands showing up across the country to oppose Trump’s leadership. One major demonstration called “No Kings Day” was organized to push back against what critics see as Trump’s authoritarian tendencies. Celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel joined in, and events were reportedly held in 2,000 locations nationwide.

Even though the protests appeared large, Trump’s communications team tried to downplay them. His spokesman claimed the demonstrations had low turnout and accused liberals of choosing to support criminals and undocumented immigrants instead of honoring the military.

Despite the bad press, Trump went on stage during the parade to swear in 250 new soldiers, congratulating them and wishing them well. He also claimed America is “the hottest country in the world right now” and promised it would soon be stronger than ever.

But behind the scenes, it’s clear the event did not go as he had hoped. With next year’s celebration already being shifted to a tightly controlled, private party full of loyal fans, Trump appears to be doing everything he can to avoid another public embarrassment.
