At his lavish 79th birthday parade in Washington DC, President Donald Trump shared a sweet moment with First Lady Melania. A lip reader claims Trump called her “baby” while thanking her as they walked to the stage. This intimate exchange stood out during an event packed with tanks, aircraft, and uniformed soldiers celebrating the US Army’s 250th anniversary.
Lip readers also caught a quirky conversation between the couple about the troops, though parts of it made little sense. Meanwhile, Trump praised the military in a fiery speech, declaring, “We’re the hottest country in the world right now. If you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you.”
Despite claims from Trump’s team that over 250,000 people attended, major outlets reported far fewer. Protests broke out nationwide, criticizing the costly parade and Trump’s hardline immigration raids that led to migrant arrests in Los Angeles.
For Trump, the parade fulfilled a dream since 2017. He called the day a “huge success” and “beautiful,” ending it with fireworks over the Tidal Basin.
