How do you feel about military parades featuring the president? We’ve never had anything like it. Do you think that’s a good use of taxpayer money?

I think it's a great idea.

More to the point: because it pisses you off, we should have a parade every damned day!

Dear Gemini, Give me a list of 20th century leaders who threw themselves military parades.

Answer:
Adolf Hitler
Joseph Stalin
Benito Mussolini
Kim Il-sung
Mao Zedong
Various Soviet and Eastern Bloc Leaders
Some Post-Colonial Leaders in Developing Nations

I wonder what uniform and what medals he's going to wear for this? Can't wait to see that outfit. Clue: it will feature a lot of gold braid.

And there's no one to tell him no this time - so get ready, DC, for the tanks to roll through the city. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I was reading about this yesterday-sickening.

Oh, good, so he will have no issue with rescheduling it for July 4th instead.

It is the birthday of the Army, #250.

No, we are not sick of Trump. We are fully behind his America First doctrine.

Hail to the chief!

This is the one MAGA left on this board...it might be Elon or his teenagers?

He’s a malignant narcissist - of course he’s blind to that.

Not to mention that he clearly doesn't know what it is going on.

I don't just mean the budding dementia. I mean that he is not following the news: "didn't we win that ruling, 9 to 0?" "it says MS-13 on his fingers" "all those polls are FAKE NEWS." He is fed an occasional snippet of reality and does not know or care about the rest. How many times has he (shamelessly!) said in a press conference that he doesn't have any comment about a subject because he is clearly just hearing about it now? It is no one's job to let Trump know what is happening or what people actually think.

Please don’t say he has dementia, that at least provides some rationale to his incessant lying, disregard for facts and flagrant ignorance. He says whatever he wants because he knows most people won’t bother to look things up for themselves and no one flat out calls anyone in his administration out on it. he is a con man through and through - saying one thing while actually doing the complete opposite. Hemming and hawing over government waste, he is the biggest grifter of them all, he couldn’t care less about government spending, why would he? He sits in his golf cart and laughs at the people who support him, reveling in their stupidity. He doesn’t have dementia he simply doesn’t give a crap.

Trump Says He Is Renaming Veterans Day as ‘Victory Day for World War I’
The president said he would also label May 8, known as V-E Day for Victory in Europe, as “Victory Day for World War II,” and vowed to celebrate America’s military wins.

"President Trump said Thursday that he would rename Veterans Day, on Nov. 11, as “Victory Day for World War I” and May 8, widely known as V-E Day, as “Victory Day for World War II,” so that the United States could celebrate its achievements in those conflicts.

“We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything,” Mr. Trump said in a late-night post on Truth Social. “We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”

The announcement was not accompanied by an executive order, and Mr. Trump did not say whether he intended for May 8 to be a federal holiday, like Veterans Day. The power to create and amend public holidays rests with Congress."
