Given the age of the infrastructure and all the steam tunnels under DC, I wouldn’t be surprised if an Abram’s tank falls right through the street. Not good parade optics.

Trump wanted a war! He's going to get one!

Didn't see any mention of the old canal that runs under Constitution Avenue. Splish-splash!

I'm not sure that's the part of the story that matters most.

Patriotic Americans should do everything possible to disrupt Mad King Donald's parade to celebrate himself.

Trump is spending taxpayers money to support his fragile ego not to address the needs of American citizens.

I’m more concerned his parade will turn into our Tiananmen Square.

All so pointless, costly & stupid, just to serve the whims & vanity of an old, narcissistic autocrat.

Every flag flown in that parade should be upside down.

Current events are going to make Trump’s military parade hit a little different.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he want to do this during his first term and it was nixed because the infrastructure couldn't handle it?

Found the article.

Black people live in and run DC. Hence, Republicans could care less about DC streets.

Trump's misplaced priorities. A military parade to fluff his ego, but cut backs for health care, science, education, and many other things Trump doesn't care about!

The US Army will never live this down.

Hell bent on destroying DC one way or t’other.
