Get ready to celebrate America's Prez! The 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, turns 79 on June 14th, and he's got double reasons to pop the champagne. Not only does he receive a barrage of birthday wishes (including from his kids) on Instagram, but our stars-and-stripes veteran is also set to receive the royal treatment with a military parade in Washington D.C.
So, let's channel our inner patriots, shall we? Here's the lowdown on the big day.
Toast the Prez on IG!
Before the big show, major kudos to Eric Trump (41) and Tiffany Trump (31), the happy duo of POTUS's offspring, who took to Instagram to shower their pops with birthday love. Eric posted a heartwarming compilation of pictures, featuring dad-and-me shots on the golf course, his adorable daughter Carolina Dorothy (5), and a delightful candid of the two at the Daytona 500. Tiffany shared two snaps from her wedding to Michael Boulos (27), alongside a group photo with her spouse and father, captioning it, "Happy Birthday, Dad!" with a tender red heart in tow.
The Military Parade Spectacular
Now, let's delve into the highlight of the event – the grand parade, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the birthday of the Commander-in-Chief himself. The parade, oh boy! It's gonna be a showstopper. CBS News reports that roughly 6,600 soldiers shall march, around 50 aircraft and helicopters will fly overhead, and approximately 150 military vehicles will roar into action. Buckle up, folks, as a festival with a fireworks display awaits to top off this multi-million dollar extravaganza (estimated to cost around 40 million US dollars or 34.6 million euros).
The Great Divide? Not Just Yet!
While celebrations paint an upbeat picture, the event remains controversial. Over 1,500 protests, skirting the theme "No Kings," are reported to be organized nationwide. However, Trump has made it clear that anyone interfering with the grand parade would face "very harsh consequences" – so let's remember to keep the peace, people!
