Trooping the Color, an annual tradition celebrating the British monarch's birthday, features King Charles III and other royals waving from Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, President Trump's parade in Washington, D.C. is criticized as militaristic and self-serving, coinciding with his birthday and the Army's 250th anniversary. Opponents plan protests against Trump's display, asserting it reflects authoritarian aspirations, especially following his controversial deployment of National Guard troops to quell protests in Los Angeles regarding immigration enforcement. This juxtaposition highlights contrasting perceptions of patriotism and leadership in the U.S. and the U.K.
The Trooping the Color serves as a patriotic display where Britons honor the monarch's birthday, despite King Charles III's actual birthday being months away.
Trump's military parade, deemed a Soviet-style extravaganza, is intended to mark the Army's anniversary and his birthday, but critics see it as a power display.
