If Obama wanted a military parade, that would be proof that he was in fact the dictator that everyone said he was.

Kelly IS NOT quoted in that article.

Did you actually read it?

WaPo does not provide ANY proof at all that Trump "demanded" a military parade.

You think the armed forces leadership would obey such orders? I doubt it.

This is just Stupid Idea # ???? from our Illustrious Leader. It's a time, energy, money and human resource waster, not a coup effort.

How embarrassing, though - for Trump to make a laughing-stock of America's military. Not to mention himself, but that ship sailed quite a while ago.

Yes, I would have said the same thing. But President Obama would never have demanded such a thing.
I agree. Obama hated the military with a passion. He, like the Clintons, viewed the military as little more than servants for their selfish whims..nothing more than taxi drivers and pilots to transport them to their fundraisers..

I asked first. Bad form to answer a question with a question. So I'm going to guess no.

Default Hyperbole

Way to spin an article with an anonymous source claiming to be a military member present at the meeting. Must have been some blabber mouth like Steele who is just desperate to be relevant with the media. This is classic Washington Post--how do these writers even live with themselves? Spinning a fable out of one idle comment. Please. This is not journalism with integrity.

Exaggerations and lies from the liberal extremists are quite frequent today.

Nope I said it in the 3rd post in this topic.

There is absolutely no proof that ANY of what WaPo claims about Trump is true.

And Trump needs those big tanks and missiles to over-compensate for his small.....hands. Which is the same reason all despots hold grand military parades.

Indeed. They were busted when the stock market went back up.

WaPo has sure fallen from the days when they took down Nixon. Now it's nothing but a tabloid now with standards so low that even the National Enquirer would be shocked.
