Need a clip to prove that the parade was all about Trump?

Too funny.

Who else would it be about?

Mattis?

Trump is the only one who wanted Trump's parade.

Even the VFW spokesperson said we have better uses for that money and plenty of parades celebrating veterans.

She also pointed out that parades are for when you win the war.

We're not there yet.

In the end, I believe Trump will be a GOOD thing for America. When Trump loses in 2020 or is removed from office before that, America will come together stronger than ever before. After Trump, we will bounce back as a much stronger, more united America.
I'm not going to vote for him (and didn't in 2016), but do you think you'd feel the same (and just change the timeframe to 4 years later) if Trump isn't removed and wins in 2020 ?

Wooops...looks like you were played after all..





is it still funny to you?
Yes. It’s hilarious. It was a wasteful, stupid idea to begin with. 20 million. 92 million... who cares? It’s all too much money. I was not played because I have always thought it was wasteful.

The title of the original post in this thread is false. Trump didn't cancel the parade, the Dept. of Defense did. They told Trump they wouldn't spend the $100 million or more it would cost. Forget about 2019------Trump will be long gone by then.

He attacks our allies, and the leaders of their countries. He praises Klansmen as fine people, but fails to acknowledge the "fineness" of people who are against racism. He uses the N-word to describe people of color, and his fortune is built on a legacy of prejudice and racist landlord practices (look this one up, since I'm sure you'll ask for a link).

He praises and bows to Putin and Kim, and gives them as examples of what great leaders should look like.


I don't think he's trying to remind people about how great America is. I think he ran a campaign 100% on the fact that we suck, and only he can fix it. The latter are his words, and the fact that America is not currently great was unmistakably implied in his campaign slogan.

You really have to be pretty far gone at this point to think that this guy is a cheerleader for American Exceptionalism. He is the antithesis of it.

This is brilliant and 1000% TRUTH.

Every. Last. Word. Of. It.

Trump tweeted that he canceled the parade.

Are you suggesting that the president is less than truthful?

Or that he’s above taking credit for others’ actions?

Nah, couldn’t be.
