Trump Wants A YUGE Military Parade



Email
Subject: Trump’s Uniform



I know what Trump really wants – a uniform! And it would be the greatest uniform of all time; believe me! He could drape himself in the finest imported (from China) linens with gold braid and stars and much embroidery; plus a red, white, and blue sash; plus all the medals of all the services (as befits their commander) from all the wars.

He could carry a sword like Washington and pearl-handled revolvers like Patton. He could wear mirrored sunglasses like Gaddafi. The gold embroidery on his hat would put MacArthur’s to shame. His hat could even have a plume so that when he put it on he would be taller than Jim Comey.

Then he could declare himself a 7-star – no, make that a 50-star – field marshal, generalissimo, and commander-in-chief. He could ride in a gold carriage drawn by eight white horses. The carriage would have two red buttons, to order either a nuclear strike or a diet Coke. A bevy of beautiful young girls would fan and applaud him, and cater to his every whim.

And then he would be the greatest president there ever was or will be; that I can tell you!

Or he could just get penis enlargement surgery and spare us all the time and expense of this dreadful spectacle.

It looked as if he is mainly bald, with a few very long strands pasted to his scalp.

It seems as if he is getting crazier by the day. Perhaps his baldness medication causes psychological issues.

to feed the massive ego of the fucking moron in the WH. Not to celebrate the military or some ignorant, bellicose version of America, though it will surely be that, but to glorify Trump. To force our military men and women to salute him not because he is Commander in Chief, but because he is Donald J Trump, who must be worshiped.

Sorry to be Captain Obvious, but since I am, let me add: Imagine if Obama had tried this.

I think maybe someone ought to show him what happens to military dictators in the end.

will be many people that will love the parade. The Republicans are going to frame this as if you
don't support the troops if you are against it. This is nothing but a political stunt for his base and it
always seems we lose when we get involved criticizing anything they can claim as supporting the military.
I think we lost the kneeling during the anthem debate.

We did not lose the kneeling. He did.

I will also not shut up about the parade. It is not about the military, it is about trump and his perverted ego. This will cost millions of tax payers dollars if it happens. Money that would serve our troops.

I know many people that refuse to watch NFL games? Democrats aren't supporting the troops that's what will stick.

military families, it means respecting them once they have served and need help for PTSD and substance abuse. We need to point out this phony bullshit for what it is. Nothing more that another drain on the budget and a useless opportunity to boost Trump's pathetic little ego. I am so sick of his insecurity and self-absorption. He is the sickest man on the planet.

10. If he gets his way on this, we'll have a military parade every year he's president.

Hopefully Mueller will ensure that the total number of parades is zero.

17. They should contract the parade out to the entertainment industry.

Actors and dancers playing the part of soldiers, prop guns, tanks, missiles, science fiction death rays causing mock explosions along the parade route...

It would be glorious and probably cost a lot less than an actual military parade.
