No, that tank is squeaking bc it’s old and cranky. Respect the tank! It was made 80 years ago to destroy a fascist dictatorship, it’s been put back on duty for an afternoon to glorify fascism & dictatorship — and it’s engaging in vindictive compliance.
Those fake military member smiles, ill-fitting uniforms, awful music, and anemic-looking displays gave everything but dominance and power… it gave meek, ill-prepared, ‘whatever’ energy.
doesn't do a good job celebrating the Army at all. almost positive they could've organized a better celebration than the one they were forced into by a draft dodging loser.
and you KNOW all the other dictators he seeks approval from are uproariously laughing at him.
Absolutely. Even the hugely cut-back parade in Moscow where all the 'good' hardware was rusting in a Ukrainian field looked better than this.
When you can't do better than North Korea, why bother?
My uncle was in the Canadian army for years and he had a couple of photos showing the troops parading before their commanding officer. Taken just before overseas deployment. I was in cadets and matched in my small town parades. To applause and pride. This. Was. Embarrassing.
Apparently no. He looked proud and happy at the beginning of parade. Like a kid who stole his dad’s gramophone, disco ball, key to the basement and raided the fridge for a party.
Trump said he wanted to have a military parade in the U.S. that would be "bigger and better" than the one he saw in France on Bastille Day. Today, Macron is LHAO. ☺️
They know. That’s why they did exactly what was ordered and nothing more.
The U.S. military has close to the same political demographics as the rest of the pop. There is a little bend to the right, but it’s not as big as most people think. Trump has betrayed Ukraine & NATO. That is not appreciated
Oh the shame. The world is laughing at us again. Remember when trump addressed the UN in 2018 and he started rolling off his perceived accomplishments? The heads of state and delegations erupted in laughter. trump is such a joke.
Or bore to death.
Will heads roll? I hope so.
Was there no marching band? No tubas? No bagpipes? No Revolutionary war fife and drum?
I saw a reenactment about a bridge in Concord, Mass that had more spirit in “soldiers” and audience.
I suspect that parade had nothing to do with honoring America or even Trump's birthday. Read "House of Trump, House of Putin" by @craigunger.bsky.social.
Should have had a neon sign that says, soooo weak. Awful our troops were even put into that position and I blame the Army leadership and of course, you know who.
The Army marching or strolling down Penn Ave didn't even look like their hearts were in it at all.
Fortunate Son playing, really?
I think it was deliberate… I think the squeaking tanks were made squeak deliberately… and the out of tune band was playing out of tune deliberately? Subtle but obvious.
Yeah, they were not in lock step marching, they were just kinda strolling out of sync, that did not look like the kind of spectacle the orange taco dickhead was hoping for.
That sloppy marching was intentional because they were pissed off. Im positive they only had the floor to sleep on all of last week and who knows when they last had a hot meal. And BTW, do we really want a goose-stepping army?? I want them good at their jobs, who fucking cares if they can march
He thought it was going to be all exciting jets roaring over and tanks pulling wheelies, and giant sized Tonka trucks, and it was just... marching and slow moving vehicles.
That was hilarious. He's barely awake.
Melania always wears these double breasted suits now, where the buttons look like nipples. 🤣 She always looks misereable. GOOD.
Sorry about that. I call them as I UGH, see them.
After seeing all her porn/model pics, I'm gonna share her BS.
She's so disgusting.
The only bigger mistake was her green screen dress, remember that?🤣
I'm not sure I've ever seen such s miserable and loathsome birthday party group in my life.
if this is what giving a narcissist what they want does, please don't ever do it again. make them miserable by withholding their overly expensive wishes.
By all accounts the participants aren’t there voluntarily. Parades mean extra practice, extra work, and in this case, they were left to sleep on floors in various federal buildings.
And we must also mention:
They were actually pulled away from other important duties, like working on preventing wildfires or other community related service and guarding the border
Same as the FBI; the Minnesota shooter had a profile that should have had him on some kind of watch list, except we know that under Trump 1.0, all investigations of home grown right wing terrorists, (aka MAGA Trump Supporters) was suspended.
The only ones who are not playing nice in my opinon is members LAPD.
If you freeze frame the video where the australian newscaster got hit, it's very disturbing.
There was also a video of police tackling down someone who was live streaming ( not sure which city)
So much tension in one video!
Melania endures, is she reciting the prenup?
The [secret service?] guy behind him to his left looks absolutely poised to grab his shoulder when he slumps forward. There's only so much they can do to protect him from time and poor lifestyle.
Volume of attendance was less than 80,000 way less.
Bleachers were empty in every camera shot.
Every military unit in attendance had no option to attend.
All had graduated from boot camps became graduation march.
Attendance ordered.
Attendance mandatory.
Or Dishonorable discharge
Too funny about #TACOtRump 🌮🐓struggling w/ his “crowd size” yet again‼️
In fact, it’s so rich that da Orange Bitch repeatedly cried that us #NoKings rallygoers are “PAID PROTESTERS”😂🤣, but we DON’T have slimey👺🤑billionaires like Elmo Musk who’ll fork out $300 million+ like he did for DJT’s campaign‼️🤣
Today we throw a military parade honoring all the draft dodgers. To all those who ran & hid, & for all those who who cowered in the corner when their country needed them most. Today is your day. Today is the honor of every cosplay tough guy and chicken shit. May your tiny clit dicks forever wave.
Using female anatomy to insult opponents is not the way. It reveals a demeaning attitude to half the human race and internalized misogyny which is part and parcel with racism. The two cannot be divided.
You called me a misogynist and a racist. Your assessment is complete bullshit and your narcissism is apparent. When you get done fucking yourself, you can fuck the fuck right off.
Soul-destroying.
An awful lot of the military will be absolutely fuming. This is not going to play out well for the MAGA mafia. They’ve just poked a grumpy bear with a shitty stick.
This dishonors our veterans and it’s probably why he did it. Trump hates the military and America. Actions always speak louder than words, especially from a habitual liar.
You fuckers almost killed me with this, because I laughed so hard.
An old, squeaky tank creeping slowly past mostly empty grandstands is the perfect avatar for this regime and, quite literally, foretell how the world will judge this era of American "greatness."
The parade was originally supposed to be a celebration of 250 years of the American military services, and so included historical units and costumes from throughout its history.
After Trump changed it to celebrate his birthday instead though, that message got lost in the planning.
The reasons why something failed are only important if you are going to try again, in terms of celebrating 250 Yr anniversary you get 1 shot. Trump tried to make this about him
To be fair, the Russians quit sending tanks to their big parades because they’re all in use repressing Ukraine. But to paraphrase Eisenhower, we shouldn’t have to impress anyone
Oh, no. 1. In the Orange's mind there is no us. 2. He doesn't think in terms of wider effects. 3. It was all about him feeling good and great — in the moment. Nothing more.
Although,with the face he had, i doubt he succeeded in #3. So he probably seethed all night and churned about revenge. Someone somewhere is going to have “it”… the best would be the ketchup bottle or the wall. Just expect revenge.
Waiting for, and it probably already happened "we didn't go to the parade because we were afraid of the Lefty reaction, or, the lefties bought all the tickets and didn't show
Eddie Murphy actually starred in one of the worst movies of the early 80s movie called “Best Defense” as a tank commander who accidentally wanders into a war zone while trying to navigate a poorly designed tank [Wikipedia]
I would have preferred the 100 million go to the Veteran's Administration. I don't really need the pomp & circumstance to inflate the ego of a gaudy flim flam man.
Which is one of the primary reasons it looked disappointing. The U.S. military are neither show ponies nor a private force. They were ordered to be there, they couldn’t be ordered to look like they WANTED to be there.
YES! Thank you! Let’s not denigrate them for not being show ponies, for godsakes! What they did was show as much respect to that orange POS that HE has shown them. This veteran is proud as fuck for what they did.
When you drive a Ferrari, you don’t need to drive it at 120 mph to show you have a Ferrari. US doesn’t need to off his might with a parade for a convicted criminal and rapist.
I saw a clip of that, it was sparse and so eerily quiet apart from the squealing tank treads. Some commenters claimed there was music playing, but I couldn’t make it out. It was a sad sight.
I envision it to be more: Canadian poobah: “Hey, Taco is here! Awesome turnout at the No Kings Day celebrations. So what did you do yesterday?” TACO Trump: “Joe Biden did a lot of very bad, stupid things to America…”
Their fear would be for our mental health if they thought we believed this pathetic display of Republican fascism and wasted money would inspire fear in any enemy.
He should have had the parade made in China like all the other crap he tries to sell. It would have looked a lot more spectacular, and would have cost a lot less.
Oh wait, I forgot about tariffs. Is there a tariff on importing parades also?
It's a threat. The only reason for a military parade is to send a message to the nation's citizens that he has the might of the military should the citizens want change
Is it just me, or does "Melania" have a slight smile ??
Obviously from thinking about how much the badly planned and executed parade must be pissing off The Donald ... :)
Dont see how that would happen. Chump has made the US look weaker than ever, especially as he has belittled and threatened allies while bending over for a Russian gangster. Other nations see him as the idiot he truly is
Mind you, what baffles most of us is why did he get elected twice and why do nearly half of all American voters STILL apparently not see him for the pathetic, cruel, weak idiot he obviously is
Because they’ve been conditioned for 40 years to equate the Republican Party with God and have now flipped which is more important. I wish I was joking. We condemn things so you don’t have to. I’m pretty sure Canada has people determined to do something similar in Alberta
American white evangelicals have basically abandoned Jesus and turned the GOP into a golden calf. Using abortion and fear and hatred of lgbt people to get them there. Thank you Ronald Reagan and Jerry Falwell.
The US is making Canada look really great these days. 🤣 plus I’m pretty sure we won’t be headed into a civil war like the states seems to be. Poor USA is totally collapsing. What’s also funny is that the “other” countries that hate the states are laughing because the U.S.A took themselves out.
The majority of Americans voted for him which shows the majority of voters are stupid, backwards, racist, misogynists. The fans of MMA (that dept of education lady’s and Dan Bognino’s sport) voted for TACO bc he went to fights, thus they mistakenly believe Taco is ‘tough.’ Losers voted 4 the loser.
Apart from being full of late night typos, the 'you Americans' synecdoche, please learn to understand the English Language. I'm Welsh and English is my second language but what's your excuse?
Cambridge Analytica’s and the bot farms that spread disinformation campaigns on social media to convince people that all politicians are the same and that voting doesn’t matter certainly were successful internationally.
I know it. No, speech is not protected. My "voluntary" interview with feds says otherwise. The U.S. is a dying nation with a wannabe king at the helm and no serious opposition to block him. You would think the approximately 11 million people at No Kings rallies might have made an impression.
I haven't seen the "parade" but I can tell you that only reading the posts about it make me (French) LOL and despise that farce of a president. And respect YOU American people who fight hard for democracy.
Even with Trump grumpling at his own waste of resources, and all of the associated national shame he brought on the nation, I like the fact that he now knows that the bigliest anti-Trump protest will always be biglier than the bigliest Trump rally.
Other countries realize and respect the fact that Donnie was deprived of military toys as a child. They are grateful that he has finally had the opportunity (at taxpayers' expense) to fill that void. ** not ^^. As other posts have suggested, they are laughing their asses off.
Relieved at what?
Oh at the incompetence?
They should be relieved because the congress was gonna allow him to do whatever he wanted because they are so weak and corrupted by corporate money and inside stock trading.
They could give them all the best winter gear & heated Quonset huts. It would still destroy unit morale. Stand & stare & snow & rocks while every local resident shuns them. Crushing.
I've only seen a couple of clips on here, but doesn't it strike you as odd that they wore fatigues? They do actually own dress uniforms, don't they? And this strolling along instead of marching in formation - what kind of parade was that!? 😅
Is that after they laughed at them. What a poor show. Poor marching, hardly any of them looked happy to be there and I’m sure some were dragged out from behind desk jobs looking at their weight. As for the sponsors every few minutes being mentioned- at least you know who to avoid now
Kind of have to disagree. That tune is normally associated with something fun for all. We'll be lucky if we can use the Sad Trombone sound the way things are going.

I hear you! I have a special needs son who may be losing his Medicaid coverage, like you, and millions more. We will never forgive the GQP for this evil, violent assault on those in need. And, we’re not going to put up with it!
Naw, that military parade was meant to stoke the ego of the orange guy, to distract him from the utter failures that have marked his presidency so far, after just 6 months. There isn’t anything that he can do to make other countries fear and respect us, not anymore. He is just a pathetic man(?).
It certainly set the tone for his pathetic and chaotic tenure. A sad imitation of a Stalinist dictatorship in a country that doesn’t have the time or patience to indulge his shit.
He wasn't mollified by a folding table with piles of blank paper stuffed in manila folders stacked on it, claiming to document all his great successes this time around.
Coming from the Orange guy who said he could end the Russian Ukraine war, lower food prices and make our economy better, but dropped 45 million on that.
So yeah, but not sure it worked..
You're right there. The world views her the same way it views someone who has just hawked up the contents of their lungs and spat it onto the street. Sheer disgust.

I didn't know that .. Thanks for the info.
The USA is a laughing stock, and I feel so sorry for anyone who didn't vote for the 🟧 💩 especially those who voted 🟦

They respect democracy not the mad King.
Fear yes, the insanity is scary.
Respect? No. Laughing stock more like it.

Having also watched Trooping the colour in the UK today it was far better a parade, without having to pull tanks out and look full dictatorship.
Melania always wears these double breasted suits now, where the buttons look like nipples. 🤣 She always looks misereable. GOOD.
I hear all of Russia has been seeing them for real thanks to Putins' respect of The Orange One.

COLD MRE’s are NOT conducive to good morale.
They were actually pulled away from other important duties, like working on preventing wildfires or other community related service and guarding the border

In this case, they only had a couple of months to source, organize and mobilize the forces, and get the logistic support in place.
Under Hegseth's direction.
Oh well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpgkhngU8yE
A hilarious display.
…likewise, the US doesn’t need to parade
Trump is actually showing off his personal Insecurity
“Good (snicker) morning, Mr. Presi(snort)dent. Welcome to(teehee) Canada. We’re (ohgod) so happy to see you (oh no) BAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Oh wait, I forgot about tariffs. Is there a tariff on importing parades also?
What did they expect they'd be rewarded with?
the trump has the sad’s…
Goddammit!!!! No birthday present to democracy.

I guess Elon and doge thought those were just more of that Democrat waste and fraud.
I'm not sure if I should laugh at this statement, but I agree ..It's pathetic
What even was that?? 🇬🇧🤣🇺🇸
We have several tarnished America by allowing Trump to be elected president - TWICE ❗️❗️❗️
The MAGA people are dog, barking, stupid, and only like him because they hate the same people.
All I saw was millions of #NoKings protesters peacefully protesting.
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
but then again, maybe we are the most incompetent military and we are invading ourselves. - see LA.
Besides, the way the UK is going Yakety Sax will have to be the national anthem by the end of the decade.
