genuinely hilarious compared to the scale of the protests nationwide

huge loser energy from mister tough guy

About an hour until parade start time in D.C., and there are plenty of prime viewing spots wide open, particularly toward the beginning of the route.

Trump showing the whole world that the American people aren’t with him.

raccoon-overlord.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is what I like to see

vagabending.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump parade is very fyre festival vibes

vagabending.bsky.social•8 days ago

Good job sir you got 12 people to attend your $40M+ parade and all 12 of them thought it was mid.

Do you need your diaper changed sir?

hexhunter.bsky.social•8 days ago

Difficult to get folks out to the DC to look at the troops it turns out. Maybe for a fight or to lynch some politicians, not this.

Reminded of London in 22, people flocked in all over the world to see a dead lady's coffin, I went to look at those people! He wishes he had the power of a dead lady

dandwig.bsky.social•8 days ago

It really isn't. I remember going to the Mall as a kid, to look at stuff during Desert Storm. And it was reasonably busy.

Trump just sucks at it, like everything else he does.

genegauvin.bsky.social•8 days ago

For whatever reason, the "DO NOT ENTER" signs punctuate this nicely.

nesler.org•8 days ago

Why does every event of his look so damned ugly? It looks like they're doing roadwork.

spookybanjo.bsky.social•8 days ago

i remember a stronger turn out for Reagan’s funeral.

brockmeyer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Pretty sure they got more than that for No Kings in Elko, NV

brockmeyer.bsky.social•8 days ago

(no offense whatsoever to the good people of Elko)

sixtyfps.bsky.social•8 days ago

Everybody on their phones checking out the staggering, historic protest turnout

princeofdorne.bsky.social•8 days ago

6:30? What the hell was he thinking?

digitalsecurity.bsky.social•8 days ago

He literally paid people to fill those seats and they were still empty?! 🤣

philoof.bsky.social•8 days ago

I checked out the live feed and it’s the most boring parade I’ve seen since Russia’s parade

elnosnusk.bsky.social•8 days ago

They briefly cut to a picture of Cheetolini “saluting” wit - I am not making this up - his eyes closed. But they cuts way before I could screenshot it. I wasted 15 minutes hoping they cut back but they never did…

elnosnusk.bsky.social•8 days ago

Normal presidents never wasted time or money on stunts like this because the risk of looking like a huge impotent loser

Maybe they were scared away by the political assassinations in Minnesota by Democrats?

Word is that Trump's birthday circle jerk military parade has LOW ENERGY and LOW RATINGS! More people showed up to attend No Kings protests in medium-sized cities! SAD!

i-am-canad14n.bsky.social•8 days ago

Definitely the right call to counter the parade with nationwide protests but avoid a big event/confrontation in DC. Pathetic look for DJT.

rjwhite1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Probably could've boosted attendance by giving the birthday boy a bouncy castle

argonianmage.bsky.social•8 days ago

I gotta say it makes me a bit proud of my fellow Americans that the parade was such a flop. From what I heard barely 20% of the capacity was filled, the soldiers marching was incredibly shitty, and among other things it was an utter disaster.

bandalf.bsky.social•8 days ago

If his ego gets bruised, I worry that the child will lash out and hurt someone.

earthox.bsky.social•8 days ago

And I hope the ogre doesn't do that in Canada!

I went to the Jon Stewart rally many years ago (in retrospect it was pretty cringe). I planned to get there an hour early and got there late. It took 30 minutes just to get *on* the metro train. If you want to know what middling DC turnout looks like.

xarthras.bsky.social•8 days ago

Saddest circus ever is in town.

danielsand.bsky.social•8 days ago

I can’t wait for the cope from the admin. I am on the fence if they will just lie and pretend millions showed up, or blame the woke and say millions tried and were prevented from showing up.

I’m leaning on the former with assist from fake AI crowd images.

pyrholidon.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ve seen bigger crowds at a WWE house show

brendaautumn.bsky.social•8 days ago

Losers

westhomasanderson.bsky.social•8 days ago

BREAKING: Military parade did not make Trump’s peepee any bigger, and may have in fact made it tinier.

rincewind.run•8 days ago

on the one hand yes it’s very bad that he’s doing this on the other hand this shit is sad! pathetic! low energy!

dandwig.bsky.social•8 days ago

Those attendance numbers look more like what I would expect to see if that was an occupying army than a parade to celebrate our own.

284electra.bsky.social•8 days ago

whimsicalsquirrel.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh man, the little squeak of the treads...it's like the sound design for the Box Factory episode for the Simpsons, which they intentionally designed to be boring! And awful! And hilarious!!!

spaceds8008s.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think actually hurts the image of the army more than anything else. EVERYONE, including the soldiers, look fucking miserable.

conjurial.bsky.social•8 days ago

it's even worse because a lot of the crowd ("crowd") is probably the soldiers' family and friends

conjurial.bsky.social•8 days ago

not that I have any way to estimate this but you'll get *some* people just from that, so if this is the crowd size it sucks

cheerijessie.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's such a negative number that people aren't even showing up for the army?

pnwwestcoast.bsky.social•8 days ago

I thought maybe Trump would pay maga folks to serve as spectators. Guess not.

meza.bsky.social•8 days ago

That man? Pay somebody? lmao

dakotabun.bsky.social•8 days ago

Man it does not look like ANYONE wants to be there

One dude on an ATV in Emmonak Alaska had more energy than this.

jmchao.bsky.social•8 days ago

He’s totally going to just blame the rain.

skimbrel.bsky.social•8 days ago

the squeaky treads are absolutely sending me — it makes it come off so two-bit and rinkydink

davidkc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Um where are the people??

mrm-photo.com•8 days ago

Lol there's hardly anyone there

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•8 days ago

It is a hilarious event.

cheeseboygers.bsky.social•8 days ago

the military parades will continue until morale improves

phantasmajones.net•8 days ago

just saw a twitch streamer call the parade trump's "fuckass birthday party" & i can't stop laughing at that

kronoform.bsky.social•8 days ago

I assume that this is equivalent to the VFW float in your small town July 4th parade, and at some point they rolled through the real tanks we saw being shipped in?

Right?

genericuser1234567.bsky.social•8 days ago

You can literally hear the wheels squeaking with how empty the crowd is

lindsayduff.bsky.social•8 days ago

Those are M4 Sherman tanks. They're even older than Trump is. Not exactly what one might describe as the projection of terrifying cutting-edge power.

rincewind.run•8 days ago

here it is, the iconic tank photo of the day

the most terrifying military on earth, out in force to fart around

jasea.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s giving the same energy as the Scottish Willy Wonka Experience.

edpichon.bsky.social•8 days ago

And on top of a truly terrible tank.

lakeeffectsnow.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean that's a Sherman tank - if we actually need one of em, things have gone awry.

cheerijessie.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's giving Beetle Bailey reboot

joehaydu.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s almost like every tanker in the force has seen Kelly’s Heroes

chkrey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Is this a museum show? Will someone dressed as George Washington crossing the Potomac be attending?
This is just as half-assed as Trumps other "official" showoff...

ranamar.bsky.social•8 days ago

They actually did have a fife and drum band at the beginning of it, followed by a unit in Union blues.
(Look, the *Army* wanted to celebrate their history, not do a military parade.)

caligulacapital.bsky.social•8 days ago

i really need to see an overhead view.

is it really THAT empty? not even morbid curiosity? JFC.

rubbermatt.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Could you try to look a bit professional ..... and please stop farting through the turret hatch? It's getting hard to breath in there."

"Look, you know I'm only here because I lost the bet, right?"

standuphookup1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Brad Pitt so embarrassed he's burning every copy of Fury.

argonianmage.bsky.social•8 days ago

Why a Sherman? Why was a Sherman in the parade?

rincewind.run•8 days ago

my suburb of LA had more people than this today and that wasn’t even close to the scale of the march downtown

turkeycleverness.bsky.social•8 days ago

*dedicates the song, 'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to' to him*

pdxsunshine.bsky.social•8 days ago

I just got home from the Portland march and it's the largest crowd I've ever been in.

josephusbrown.bsky.social•8 days ago

Pretty sure Okla-fucking-homa City had a bigger turnout

ryanwu2438.bsky.social•8 days ago

They had dudes hooping in the middle of the street while a block away people were serving free Panera Bread and PB&Js. Block away from that, there was a dude blasting opera from a speaker at a giant block of ice to try and shatter it. They brought out a Trump Pinata. Vibes immaculate.

ryanwu2438.bsky.social•8 days ago

Some of the soldiers looked like they wanted to join lol.

primas99.bsky.social•8 days ago

that's not even the best part: look at this...it's beautiful. he is so fucking upset 🤣

My different-from-your suburb of LA also had more people than this and was also nowhere near what was going on downtown!

katanaangel.bsky.social•8 days ago

Instead of North Korean military parade, we have Hogan's Heroes halftime.

Ah perfect, I've been looking for a way to paint my Guard tanks

joedobner.bsky.social•8 days ago

That tank's probably privately owned and those are the owners.

ikemakos.bsky.social•8 days ago

person in the parade marshal or whatever uniform there on the right has big “when your customized character doesn’t match the rest of the cutscene” aesthetic

happy birthday, jerk

rooklafetra.bsky.social•8 days ago

Holy shit. The pride parade in Fresno last week had a bigger turnout than that.

rcmurphy.bsky.social•8 days ago

I was just going to say that. This was my view:

persianx6.bsky.social•8 days ago

There's dozens of us!

itwasacoup.bsky.social•8 days ago

Much like his inauguration but he can’t move the tanks inside

paqdaddy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unhappy birthday, fuckhole

bogmummy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Lol this is a secondary, smaller protest in Tacoma.
i hope he chokes.

pernellopey.bsky.social•8 days ago

I feel like more people were already lined up an hour before our protest in rural Vermont?? I’m guessing we also had a lot more fun than these guys are going to have.
