Imagine being such a hated coward that you're literally surrounded by the military, and still have to hide behind bullet proof glass

He's not going to risk one of his own taking more potshots at him again...
He wasn't at risk before, staged PR stunt. Why do you think he put so many WWE employees in his cabinet?

God, wouldn't that have been the perfect moment to turn all those tanks to point at the goldfish and minions in their glass bowl and quickly put an end to this mess? (yes I know it would start a new mess but still).
I pray that this was his last birthday he celebrates above ground.
Monkey's Paw: His next birthday is spent underground because WW3 kicked off and he is in a nuclear bunker.
How about we just tell him it's happened, hasten him to a bunker, and then let him take to some guy via radio that lets him think he's one of the few survivors.
Hell, that'd be a good use for AI. Let it listen to his rambling and simulate a human response so nobody else needs to bother

Here in San Diego alone, we had more than 20,000 for No Kings. Pussolini's bigly parade allegedly drew 10,000, and most of them left early looking for a Chick-fil-A.
80000 big papa!
I hope someone took a photo. $46million is a lot of our tax payer money to go to waste like that.
Fake news. Ugly lies. It was the biggest and most beautiful parade ever. Everyone is saying it. No one has ever had a parade like this. They tell me Sir you parade had the most people at it in the history of parades. I have ordered the FBI and DHS to investigate and eliminate anyone that disagrees. It was a big beautiful parade.
"May I see it?"
"... No."
You're an odd fellow Donald, but you steam a good ham
Don't forget about how these fictional characters saying "sir" were big strong manly men with tears in their eyes.

"About time we celebrated???" Wtf
Do the military want a parade for themselves? I bet they sure as fuck don't. This was all about you and your ego, fat-stain. Get bent.
Not tossing a couple grenades into his pope box was a failing that our military may never live down.
Zero risk. Would have become a hero.
They had tanks there. I think that would have been more performative.
Wooof,.... kableeeewy,.... SPLAT
Grand applause
Trump is literally the dog in the burning house meme. This is fine.
No, trump is the fire. And everyone who normalises and excuses him are the dog.
I'm glad it went so poorly.
It's just an open air catalog for Bibi to pick from. "Donald, I want that thing, two of the 6 wheel things, gimme a couple of the pointy cylinders with fins, and keep it coming!"
Meanwhile, Zelensky is furious at getting a busy signal when he calls Donald.
It is possible the poor weather kept many at home.
Right. Because I'm going to buy a ticket to DC, rent a hotel room, tell my friends I'm going... and then not go because it's raining.
Meanwhile, millions of people showed up to protests in DC and other places with equally rainy forecasts. But sure, news, blame the weather instead of the fascism.
To be fair, that article was overall pretty plainly stating that the protests were overwhelmingly more well attended. Yes they had one line that raised the possibility of weather as a factor, but I think anyone but Trump could see the facts as presented in the story telling the real story.
Also went out of their way to characterize the protests as peaceful and the only politicians under violent threat were Democrats, despite the magnitude of protests.

What a sad, low energy, failing perade
Organisers for Saturday’s parade said they were expecting “hundreds of thousands” to attend
Ah, bless 'em.
it's possible the poor weather kept them at home
It's also possible that's not the reason
It didn’t stop the protestors. Millions came out.
11,000,000 versus what, 2500? Do we have any official numbers for the parade ~~traitors~~ goers
"Ah, yes, the official numbers are..."
"Yes, 'the bigliest numbers. More than ever. Yuge. So much.'... As you can see, we had a record turnout"

Opens up Southern euphemism to standard English translation book
Yes I agree.
I think the location of that parade reviewing stand will make a great place to hang him upside down for public review.
Bone spurs in chief
Yeah, how the fuck is the guy who dodged the draft for "bone spurs" trying to pretend he's all about our military?
The hand-selected troops he had in the backdrop of his speech the other day hooting and hollering was insane. Like, do they not realize he is using them as props, and that he'd send them into danger for no other reason than his fragile pride? They are nothing to him. This guy is literal, real-life Farquaad.

I like the "No Kings!" messaging, simple and pointed. We need a slogan that is short and sweet for the soldiers to use. Something that shows them they have agency in this.

Jesus H Christ, Someone teach Trump how to salute…
It's like this, right?
I love how they all look at him like the dumbass he is.
Obama or Biden would have been impeached and removed for this.
Such an embarrassing piece of douche-garbage.
