To think of Donald Trump’s pathetic excuses, you need to be blindly drunk Military Parade In Washington, DC, there was nothing but a flop on Saturday. And in at least one case, someone reportedly was blindly drunk and admired it.

Fox News Guest Rebekah Koffler slid Her way through segments about how majestic and inspirational the parade is. According to Daily Beastshe was banging the sauce before praised “Spectacle.” At least she was working overtime with her champagne goggles. The rest of us had to calmly look at the sad reality if we dared to see it.
Trump had a parade-sized hole in his ego Since 2017he saw the festivities of Bastille Day in France and got a little too hot under the collar about tanks and testosterone. Since then, he has longed for himself, we say, the moment of the dictator.
He probably saw all the videos of the top military parade, directed by his companions Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, as well as his role models Mussolini, Hitler and Mao Zedong. He is sure to be out to sea of Rockstep soldiers, sparkling war machines, synchronized salutes and worshipers waving the Maga flag.
It’s the same thing you can see in Pyongyang or Red Square.
So, when Saturday arrived on his 79th birthday and the US military’s 250th birthday, Trump finally got his big day. And what a disaster!
Yes, I saw some of it. Because I wanted to see some kind of disaster unfold in front of my eyes. I was thinking of the only protester who was cratering the streets, or doing the US “tankman” Version of Tiananmen Square. But what I hadn’t planned was that everything was an unexempt disaster!
There were several tanks, some Humvees did not succumb to the streets, but they looked sad and lonely as they ran down the barren Constitutional Street. Instead of the roaring crowd, supporter powder bravely confronted the heat, rain and mist of DC. It wasn’t the weather that kept people apart. And I mean enough people to fit in big tanks, not malls across the country.
There were folding chairs that were empty than humans. Rolling StoneI correctly called it a “sleepy birthday bash.” mirrorIt has been pointed out that there were only a few thousand when the White House claimed it was over 250,000 with a laugh.
When I flipped from CNN to MSNBC for TIDBITS about FOX, MSNBC and Parade, my 20/20 vision saw nothing close to 10,000. For those obsessed with the size of the crowd, this had to stab.
I had heard from a friend who witnessed the soldiers moving sharp, crisp and choreography with impressive precision during rehearsals on Friday. Will you come on Saturday? From some of the marches I saw on TV: They were confused and shuffled Just as they were out for a lazy walk around the reflecting pool. Was it a deliberate protest? Is the quiet, dignified middle finger from the army used in the megaly vanity project? who knows.
After that was finished, Trump, of course, like a man who didn’t believe his words, always gave it an eight-minute speech. He was bored and collapsed into a chair, barely interested in the sights he had requested.
After the speech, the military aides had to do it. Ask him to leave the stage. Watch the video. Barack Obama reminded me of when I had to go and get it Joe Biden is off the stage for a fundraiser in LA. Trump looked at it equally outside.
Even Melania appeared, and the photos said it all. Like her husband, She seemed to be dozing off This also symbolizes her boredom as a less-than-grade first lady. It was Secretary of State Marco Rubio who was just as bored. Who yawned? His way.
And if anyone was drunk at the parade, it would have been the suspicion of drunken Defense Secretary Pete Hegses. When it’s stupid Robot dog And as the pointless, false drone passed by, I was forced to remember Hegses’ constant barking that the army was “.Warrior Culture”
It costs a whole lot Estimated $45 million. Think about the number of veterans where money can help support healthcare, housing, or mental health. But no. Zero energy from participants, viewing stands and sparsely filled bleachers funded the procession of the half-hardened ghost town.
Because that’s what Trump hates the most, it’s low energy. Still, heYesterday was a realization. Slouch forward. boredom. I painted my eyes. A strong man with no crowds of cities and countries that mostly dislike him.
Since launching his second term on January 20, 2025, Trump has been a global embarrassment, from his failed diplomacy, the warm embrace of a tyrant, to the relentless dismantling of America’s status around the world.
Saturday’s parade was more than just a mistake. It was the perfect metaphor for the president, obsessed with power, sight and ego, and was exposed in the broad daylight due to the blown blowhard that truly sparkled.
As always, playing cards It ruins everything he touches. Institutions, allies, traditions, friends, colleagues, and now a military parade. And the worst part? He is embarrassed not only himself. He was embarrassed by our army. He was far better than being used as a prop in one dream of dictatorial delusions.
