Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump wasn't able to cut a deal for a grandiose Veterans Day military parade, but this year, he says he aims to start a new 4th of July tradition.

The only hitch? The "tradition" he says he wants to start in the nation's capital already exists.

Trump offered few concrete details Tuesday when he mused to reporters that it could take place in Washington and it could include a parade ...

... America's National Independence Day Parade .. goes through the heart of downtown Washington, consisting "of invited bands, fife and drum corps, floats, military and specialty units, giant balloons, equestrian, drill teams, VIP's, national dignitaries and celebrity participants," according to the parade's website. Other smaller parades take place across Washington's neighborhoods.

It's .. unclear exactly how the "Salute to America" event would work alongside -- or in place of? -- Washington's annually televised Fourth of July concert and fireworks near the Capitol building ...

Or maybe he could bring back the tradition Nixon started, and we could all celebrate 9 August as "Resignation Day." That might be worth a parade
