Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took aim at one of President Donald Trump’s greatest insecurities on Sunday, needling him over the lackluster crowd at his Washington, D.C. military parade this past weekend.

Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.

As millions of Americans protested at “No Kings” rallies across the country, onlookers gathered in Washington on the president’s birthday for a muted celebration.

Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm whose contracts with the federal government are expanding, and Coinbase, a cryptocurrency firm that donated to the president’s inauguration, also sponsored the event. Oracle, a database company whose co-founder is a close friend of Mr. Trump’s, received a shout-out on Saturday as a sponsor.

At the beginning of the parade route, a sparse and quiet crowd greeted the U.S. troops dressed in uniforms from the Revolutionary War to modern day. A few protestors holding “NO KINGS” signs aloft mingled with patriotic revelers as a light drizzle began shortly after the start of the event.
