Just coincidence the tanks will surround the white house when Hillary and Obama indictments drop lol

[semaj]

Well, since all that military hardware and personnel will be in town, might as well use those resources to round up all the swamp dwellers in one fell swoop.

One ca dream...

[TomGuy]

That will drive many Libs right over the edge and into Bellvue.

Very bad idea IMO. Tinpot dictators stage big military parades but American presidents speak softly and carry big sticks. We have many other ways of letting foreign powers know we are strong. Besides, the Opposition is all to ready to typecast Trump as a “dictator” and this would fuel their media propaganda attacks.

[PA Engineer]

Yep.

said a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity

Creative writing majors at it again with another narrative.

[goldstategop]

Liberals hate our flag, anthem and military.

CNN talking heads ridiculed the notion of a Russian/French style military parade down Pennsylvania Ave.

Jeffrey Toobin compared it to aping North Korea.

That’s how much the Left looks down on patriotism. Just another reason to bash Trump.

[aumrl]

How did that work out in Alabama?

I actually read the article. I expected it to be rife with images of lil Kimmie and his militaristic parades. And how Trump too wants a commie style parade, but it was actually sorta fair.

Just sorta. I expect the reporters will be fired if they don’t shape up and get back to the usual agit-prop against Trump.

Mixed feelings on this. I don’t think we need to emulate Communist China or Russia with a purely military parade, but perhaps there could be a bigger military component to some other holiday. That way it would be a regular recurring event.

How about We save $$$$ and have the Parade at Local Military Bases across the Country and not Ship Harware around?

Just a Brain Fart.

[beergarden]

Yes. me too. I would rather watch this than the stupid Super Bowl crap.

[dragnet2]

Can’t afford a parade, but 30 million illegals choking off jobs, social services, hospitals, jails, schools while sending billions out of the country annually, is no problem.

[dinodino]

I don’t love this idea, unless the President uses it as a distraction while he achieves something amazing in the background.

[Jet Jaguar]

Ping.

[ExTexasRedhead]

My opinion, the bigger the parade the better! It’s decades past time.

Our military and our veterans deserve to be honored. Show our children and grandchildren what patriotism and love of country is all about.

[laplata]

It probably got him a few more votes.

[bgill]

No. We don’t need to parade around like Russia and North Korea.

[Nateman]

I'm betting another leaker has just been outed by this strategically placed piece of fake news.

[wastedyears]

Dude, no, that’s what dictators do. s#it, terrible idea.
