This is dangerous and expensive.

Trump told the Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday morning:

“Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country,” Trump said. “And we’re going to show the people as we build up our military, we’re going to display our military.

“That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, we’re going to be showing our military,”

No it's called patriotism. You're used to a spineless street urchin for a president for the last 8 years who bows like a school girl to foreign leaders. That's okay. It will get better in time

Just like those old grainy videos from the 1930's?

Or, say, Moscow, c. 1946-1985...

Or, say, Beijing, c. 1989...

Or, say, Budapest, 1956...

Or, say, Prague, 1968...

You want him to be a commie so bad don't you. You're not alone. Keep trying, you might just create something in your mind you can use. Meanwhile it's entertaining. Sort of.

I hope you are signing up for service and are ready to strap on your boots in order to defend Trump's ego.

Expensive military parades serves no one but Trump's ego and will be paid for by cuts in programs for the elderly and the sick. The donor class has already been promised trillions in tax breaks and Trump's spending proposals are gigantic for such low projected revenue as a result of the donor class tax breaks.

Better than the parades in San Francisco that feature provocative attire and vulgar phallic toys and aren't family/kid friendly... Butt less chaps and crusher hats...

What's wrong with having pride in our military? Or is it an evil black rifle might trigger you into a safe space...

Waving a flag doesn't make you a patriot.
