Posting stuff like this just highlights how unfit he is to lead. Keep it up. The world needs to see what a childish, self-absorbed clown we have in the White House. You're doing our work for us, nonsense.

Thank you for your service. You having served our nation, I value your opinion on all veteran-related issues over any non-veteran, to include the president.

As I pointed out yesterday, Rob O'Neil, the US NAVY Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden, called Trump's parade, and I quote, "third world bull****."

And weren't the Trumpies claiming just a few days ago that a big military parade would unite the country? And now they're claiming that the whole purpose of a military parade is to divide the country. Trumpies are so stupid they can't even keep their own story straight.

The continuing use of the argument Trump is a troll is disturbing.

It doesn't make him better. The best trolls aren't the best leaders, the most intelligent, etc...they are the kind of folks living in a basement.....that's a sad state when Trump fans use this as support for his irrational behavior.

It's sad...very sad. How do you make a country great when name calling & trolling are the tools you use to 'unite the country'?

Fortunately while I think there are many that think Trump is a good troll, most folks I know that are conservatives or Republicans or even in support of Trump would never use this as some kind of justification for his behavior. They know it is an insult to Trump and to those who try to defend his policies.

I voted no. A free country shouldn’t have military parades. That’s something despots do. That said, it would be an interesting show to watch.

Most of the draft dodgers went to Canada...........

do you have a problem flying our fighting jets every year in the Super Bowl? isn't that showing off under your standards? where is the outrage?
Dude they log those hours for training.

The last parade I went to, which was the Victory Parade in 91 in DC they tugged aircraft through the streets- that's called an expense.
