A stark contrast emerged in attendance between the Trump administration’s Army birthday parade in Washington, DC, and the sweeping “No Kings” protests held nationwide.

U.S. President Donald Trump took the stage on Saturday to address the crowd attending the Army's 250th Birthday celebration, which featured a parade showcasing U.S. military equipment earlier in the day.

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.

NBC News' Jacob Soboroff reports from Los Angeles City Hall where thousands of protesters have gathered for a 'No Kings' protest against the Trump administration and ahead of the president's Washington D.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

We implore everyone not to play into Trump’s hands and fall for his schemes,” the chair of the Washington State Democratic Party said in a statement.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

Approximately 5 million turned out against Trump at the "No Kings" protests; turnout for Trump's military parade appeared to be in the thousands.

Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.

Thousands took to the streets in Pittsburgh and across western Pennsylvania, as well as the country, on Saturday as part of a demonstration deemed "No Kings."

A bystander was fatally shot after security members at the demonstration confronted a man who was running toward the crowd with an AR-15-style rifle, the police said.

Activists in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans. supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they view as a power grab by the Trump administration.
