Why not have a Carnival, lots of girls grunding and twerking, a plentiful supply of drink and ganja and lots of food stalls. Trump can have a burger whilst grabbing as much P@**y as he wants.

Plenty? How many? When?

The only one I'm aware of is the one marking his inauguration and yes, I think it was overkill. And not for one second do I believe, his inauguration parade wasn't a play at displaying might. He was sworn in in January 1953 - 7 months before the end of the Korean War.

It could go to many more things then stroking Trumps ego that's for sure.





This goes to show you Trump has a cult following even when the truth states them in the face they still refuse to believe it.

Get a grip. Nobody is hysterical.

Just pointing out that a parade for Trump the Magnificent is a stupid waste of money and time.

My prediction: There will be a parade that will consist of a couple of units like the DC area "Old Guard" that specializes in doing pageantry events, some local National Guard units and VFW posts, a few tanks and humvees that have been mothballed and a marching band or two. Not unlike the Inauguration, it will be underwhelming at best but spun as the greatest military parade evahhhhhhh.

Trump's boat will have been floated, DC hotels will make a little money, T-shirts will have been sold, FOX News will be the only network to carry it live (maybe a whopping hour of airtime, half the parade itself, half talking heads fluffing), money will have been squandered, everybody goes home happy.

What you have just described is how parents deal with their toddlers. Pat them on the head, give them a cookie, and everyone is happy.

And unfortunately, that's the kind of childish behavior this president displays every day.

Don't you have Veteran's Day in Florida? Or Memorial Day? Or Fourth of July?

We have them every year here in Washington. Maybe you're living in the wrong place.
