Description:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to use "heavy force" against "any" protesters at the military parade being held in Washington this weekend.

"We're going to celebrate big on Saturday," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office right after he spoke about sending the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to quell protests there. "If any protesters want to come out, they will be met with very big force."

The parade to honor the Army's 250th anniversary also falls on the president's 79th birthday and comes just days after Trump ordered troops to Los Angeles to respond to protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
