If you are an American citizen subject to the US Constitution and the government it defines, then yeah, he is your President.
I am a veteran. I am also a voluntaryist libertarian who pretty much hates government at every level. Good for me and my rebellious attitude. Thing is, doesn't change where I live and what government and laws I am bound by. I loathe Barack Obama, but for 8 years, he was indeed my President. I loathe Sherrod Brown and find Portman generally annoying, but I live in Ohio, so that makes them my Senators. I find my city council and mayor to be mostly repugnant and detestable, but I live in the neighborhood I live, so I am one of the many households "governed" by their mafia-style protection racket.
And when I was in the military, I had a ton of senior enlisted and officers alike I found to be straight knucklehead douche-pickles, but they were the boss, so I said "aye aye" when they gave me orders.
Until Trump is no longer in office, he's your President. That's life. It's unfair from the moment it starts. Suck it up buttercup.
Just because I sit in a garage doesn't make me a Lincoln. Same thing goes for the chair in the Oval Office.
Plus, I always hated having to pull out the Class As and arrange everything Just So. And it always seems that you get stuck with one of two weather conditions: Hotter Than Hell With No Shade or Freezing Cold With No Shelter. (The latter wouldn't be so bad if you could move around, but when you're either at attention or parade rest....meh.)
I did not serve but I'd think most members of the military would rather have a day of rest than have to prep and travel for a parade.
And as far as the money spent on a parade, I think most Americans would rather see it spent towards troops salaries or the VA.
bible thumping, gun tottin', third grade edjumacted, sister marryin' trumpster morons with bad teeth ain't saying a military parade is a good idea, we be saying it is not goose steppin' propaganda.
perhaps the military deserves some public praise these days. the armed forces are amazing people.

the hate is so evident on this thread. smdh
Well, thanks for calling us amazing....
....but as several of us have pointed out, being in military ceremonies is pretty much a PITA for us. And we'd rather the money be spent on raising Active Duty pay, retired military pay, and helping out our homeless brothers-and-sisters in arms.

It's goose steppin propaganda and muscle flexing by a clown you elected. The military gets plenty of praise.
Look, I avoid Hitler comparisons like the plague....check my post history, I've never once compared to Trump to Hitler, he's a con man and a fool, not Hitler.
But the optics of this would be ridiculous, Cheeto Hitler and his tanks and missiles parade would be meme fodder for the next 3 years.
