Trump's Birthday Parade a Dud

[tommy156]

Classic trump at the parade. Tired, miserable, looking like he's trying to take a shit and can't make it happen. Melania with her trademark scowl of disapproval.

Hegseth looking like he'd rather be anywhere but here (but too much of a bootlicker to even speak to dear leader). Ditto for the soldiers. Zero enthusiasm. Don't know how to march in unison. Looking out of shape.

I'd say it was everything I hoped it would be - except the huge waste of taxpayer money.

Very well said in this video.

“The idea that most of these people called it Trump's parade is disgusting,” says about media coverage of Saturday’s parade marking the Army’s 250th birthday. “The idea that they chose to cover rallies called ‘No Kings’? It was embarrassing … At some point, if you don't want to be in this country, then leave, get out.”

It was clearly trump's parade. He doesn't give flying fuck about those "losers" and "suckers" he made march around DC in half-assed fashion for him.

And there were over 5,000,000 protesters out in the streets of America last Saturday. The media is obviously going to cover the much, much larger event. It's just common sense. Size matters.

Sorry, Snopes doesn’t confirm your conspiracy theory about “losers and suckers”. Made up bullshit like everything else TDS.

Those empty seats weren't made up, GM. Nor was the lack of crowd noise. It was a sad moment for all involved.

The Army deserved better. Now, Russia and NK are mocking them and Trump over Trump's parade

5,000,000 at "No Kings" vs. maybe 10,000 at trump's tank rally. Size matters. As one observer noted, trump's parade was "just kind of lame"

The greater point is the parade was planned in advance and was to honor 250 years of the military and ~1 million men and women who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms you enjoy.

There were 364 other days this year for the no kings thing but of course the left won’t embrace the military and show respect bc 47 is president.

There were no kings the day before the parade and none after. It accomplished nothing but insulting the military. Par for the course for the Dems.

I've never called the military "losers" or "suckers". I have more respect for them than that.

Where was MAGA at trump's little parade? Why didn't they show up? The majority of the seats were empty.

Why doesn't MAGA have more respect for the military? It was all planned in advance, and held on a Saturday. They should really show more respect for our military, and their dear leader, than that.

And Trump didn’t check his watch multiple times like Biden during the dignified transfer ceremony for the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Kabul airport attack on August 26, 2021, at Dover Air Force Base.

Losers and suckers is not verified. Fake.

And the no kings movement took away from the military celebration, on flag day. It took away from the media coverage.

Why didn’t MAGA attend? Why didn’t the Dems attend? Does the military provide security for Dems too? Do some Dems serve? We know why Dems wouldn’t support it, bc you can’t support anything associated with Trump. 1 million percent divisive.

Complete lack of respect by the Dems to the military to do it on the same day. No amount of spin can change that.

You should be happy there wasn't more media coverage of all those empty seats.

Here’s to hoping the military doesn’t support you or somebody or something you care about in a time of need bc you don’t support the military.

[tommy156]

I don't need to fall asleep at my own parade to prove I support the military.

Trump ≠ The Military. The title is Trump’s Birthday Parade a Dud.
