President Donald Trump's $45 million military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, has drawn sharp criticism and fueled concerns over authoritarianism.

The event, featuring tanks and military displays, coincided with widespread 'No Kings' protests across the country.

Critics argue that the parade symbolizes a shift towards militarization of democracy and an erosion of civil liberties under Trump's administration.
