Trump Family Members Attend Army Parade, Including Donald and Melania
On June 14, 2025, President Donald Trump celebrated his 79th birthday alongside a significant event—the military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The celebration took place in Washington, D.C., and was attended by various members of the Trump family, although several notable absences raised questions.
The military parade was not only a tribute to the Army’s historic milestone but also coincided with the President’s birthday, generating considerable national attention. Reports indicated that more than 1,000 individuals participated in “No Kings” protests across the country, including demonstrations in proximity to Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. The protests highlighted a backdrop of divided public opinion on the Trump administration, especially as his birthday coincided with a national event of great significance.
Among the family members in attendance were First Lady Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr., his girlfriend Bettina Anderson, Eric Trump, and his wife Lara Trump. Tiffany Trump was also present, recently becoming a mother to her first child, Alexander Trump Boulos, born just weeks prior. Conversely, several family members did not attend, including Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children. Barron Trump, the youngest son, was also absent; he is presently a student at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
This marked an exceptional display of familial unity amidst the public eye, yet it has been noted that the entire Trump family has not been seen together in a public setting since the events surrounding President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. The absence of Ivanka and Jared Kushner, along with Barron, places emphasis on the evolving dynamics within the Trump family as they navigate their personal and professional lives amidst ongoing political scrutiny.
Since his inauguration, President Trump has made regular visits to Florida, reflecting a strategy that combines both presidential responsibilities and personal time at his residence. His schedule frequently involved attending various significant events, including sports celebrations like the Super Bowl and the LIV Golf Tournament.
The ongoing activities of Donald Trump and his family exemplify a complex interplay between political duty and personal life, amid a polarized landscape that continues to shape their public perception.
