President Donald Trump is making plans for a military parade in Washington, D.C., on his 79th birthday, according to a report.
A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event.
The display of military might will march around four miles from the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, to the White House, the D.C. source told the publication.
Full tin pot dictator mode engaged.
I was about to say nothing says I wanna be a dictator quite like having the military celebrate your birthday with a parade
And ordering it yourself, not ordered by others because you’re popular and had some major achievement or victory.
Washington DC celebrates We Love the King Day.
Didnt he try this last time he was in office and the Mil told him to get fucked?
Yeah, but the last time he was in office the Defense Secretary wasn’t a DUI hire…
Its just some real small dick energy coming from the states leadership. This would only help the rest of the world cement the current low view of the states into a generational hate for them.
Don’t show up, even to protest. He’ll just say everyone showed up for him. Let him have his audience-less parade like a retarded North Korean despot.
No way, this is protest worthy.
The plan allegedly has this going from VA to DC, so a bridge crossing and two jurisdictions are involved. Arlington, VA and DC. So that’s the first protest. Make sure Arlington and DC know they cannot issue permits or support this in any way. Likely would involve crossing Memorial Bridge or 14th.
A complex route with a bridge crossing is a second. Would be a shame if something happened there to prevent movement…
Finally, twin 12v truck horns are $22 at Harbor Freight, a 100 pack of ear plugs for you and your neighbors are $15, and sealed 12v batteries can be had for about $100. If a 1,000 people are willing to pony up less than $150, it will shut this thing down completely. Would require water cannons or tear gas to restore it. Which might be even more difficult to deploy if Arl and DC cops aren’t there to support it (see #1).
4 miles is a long way to clear off assassination threats. That’s all I’m gonna say.
He won’t be IN the parade. He’ll be watching from some balcony as the goose stepping soldiers, and trucks with missile launchers etc file past.
plus a truck full of ICBM launcers,.
The same one that was cancelled last presidency because it would cost $100m? How many USAID departments does that buy? And exactly who’s paying for this birthday party?
That’s $100 million before he trashed the economy. It’s be a lot more now.
This president isn’t concerned who pays for anything as long as it isn’t him.
Third Reich used to do this too.
All the fucked up authoritarians did/do.
Kim Jong, Stalin, Mao, Mirziyoyev, Putin…now Trump.
Xi
I was gonna say Xi but I didn’t think he did military parades so i deleted my comment but he actually does
Most dictators do it.
Any grassy knolls along that route?
We’re going to protest the fuck out of this. This is our Tiananmen Square.
This parade WILL NOT happen…
Americans: “we can’t. We might GET IN TROUBLE.”
Nothing says you’re loved like having to order people to celebrate your birthday.
Why is no one having fun? I specifically requested it.
Trump is fascist scum.
what a fuckin’ loser
So bananas Republic it is apparently.
Military coup perhaps?
