Trump, WWE Stars Attend US Army 250th Anniversary Parade

President Donald Trump attended the 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Army, which coincided with his 78th birthday, where attendees, including WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, and The Street Profits, sang "Happy Birthday" to the troops. The event, held at Fort Bragg, featured speeches from Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Trump addressing recent ICE raids and promising to restore Confederate names on military bases. While Trump denied that the military parade was in his honor, his presence and remarks sparked controversy and divided opinions, particularly among WWE fans who debated the wrestlers' participation given the political context. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly emphasized that the parade was intended to honor all military personnel and veterans with respect and grandeur. The WWE Superstars reportedly left before Trump's speech, and the event was not officially a Trump rally, though it became politically charged due to Trump’s comments and the screening of soldiers’ political allegiances. Trump's ongoing connection with wrestling figures and rhetoric continues to intertwine with his public appearances and political messaging.
