'Trump Was 'Disappointed' By the Army Parade On His Bday and Wants to Try Again' [View all]

"President Trump will reportedly have another big boy military parade later this year."

"You’ll recall that in June, Trump made the Army put on a parade on the streets of Washington with a bunch of tanks and fireworks for his birthday — an event that was also billed as the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Army."

"The event was widely regarded as an extremely expensive flop, complete with low turnout and squeaky tanks and, in the opinion of some, lackluster marching. To rub salt in the wound, millions of people across the U.S. participated in a 'No Kings Day' counter-protest, marching against the Trump administration’s various attacks on civilians, democracy and the separation of powers. Hardly the hallmarks of the grand, dictator-style birthday spectacular that he was envisioning."

"The president was reportedly so disappointed by the marching — the marching specifically — that he is planning to throw himself another tyrant parade, this time featuring the Navy."
