I know they have been done before. But outside of wartime, they actually haven't been done on the regular at the demand of the President, like they are in North Korea. That is not an accurate portrayal.

Sure, parade the military on the 4th of July or Vets day. It's predictable and beyond individual Presidential manipulation, so that makes it an appropriate opportunity to do so. DON'T parade the military like a political prop whenever Trump or some other Commander in Chief with a Napoleon complex feels the need to have their ego fellated. Next, he's gonna start pulling these kinds of stunts right before re-election...

Presidents always used to wear hats and travel on trains. Things change. The military parade seems odd for Trump and seems like a big expense. But, whatever, go ahead.

The condescending liberals telling people who we are is worn out.
They don't speak for half the country that is for sure.
Their main priority is everyone but American citizens. That's what they are standing for and Pelosi demonstrated it today, again.

Yeah, Liberals show pride by burning American flags and kneeling during our National Anthem

Trump is just trolling liberals with this parade.

And it's working like a charm.

You want to use our military as a prop for the purposes of "trolling" a segment of the population? That's the standard of behavior you expect from your nation's leadership? Talk about un-American. And immature.

I like it too here in Leningrad.

I don't blame Trump. He is by far and away the most despised person in the world by the MSM, SJWs, cultural Marxists, postmodern feminists, etc.

If I had the power to trigger them like he does I'd use it 24/7.

Hell, I think Trump deserves credit for showing great restraint in his trolling. He only wants them to suffer...not burst a blood vessel and die.
