Trump's military parade is a flop.

[Frankfooter]

Exactly. He probably saw some right-wing social media twerp say something like this as a defence and ran with it, despite there being no evidence. That's the state of the right, they just make shit up to fit their narrative, regardless of the copious amounts of proof showing they are wrong.

I'm just waiting for him to double down. Or, will he take the L and STFU?

MAGA never admits they were wrong, not when they could keep triggering the libs by just lying about what they said.

He already backed off there, though.
Maybe he has learned to double-down less.

Imagine that.... being worried about an unhinged mental midget who is inserting himself in world conflicts left and right. Not exactly as advertised, but then chaos is his only way.

I can see it now...
Trump doesn't "insert himself in world conflict"
Wigglee: Trump has no balls and probably afraid of Iran...

NOBODY SAYS THE ARMY CELEBRATING ITS BIRTHDAY WAS SOMETHING TRUMP CAME UP WITH! Yes, Biden approved festivals. I've already said that. Jesus, I've had better arguments with a cat. As I said, Trump was the one who pushed for and got this stupid parade. I honestly don't know if you can walk and breath at the same time.

And, yes, I think Trump pushed for a parade to also celebrate his birthday to some extent. And because the Trump administration is filled with asskissers, there was little to no pushback from the secretary of defence or the generals.

You seriously think that in about 5 months, with everything else that's been going on, that Trump planned the parade to happen on his birthday? Jeezuz
The military festivities were already planned for that date. The logistics and planning alone would have taken significantly longer.
Obama and Biden were part of that and many other Dems on the committee as well.

Just because they didn't anticipate Trump actually getting elected doesn't mean he suddenly planned his "birthday party" from scratch.

The depth that cognitive bias affects people is astounding.

It is likely that the planning was done even before his presidency during the transition.
In any case, 5 months is more than enough time to plan a shitty parade.

Just to reaffirm with sources.
Yes, plans to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independance, not the 250th anniversary of the US Army were started during the Obama administration.

" The U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission was established by Congress in 2016 to plan and orchestrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The nonpartisan Commission, chaired by former Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios, is comprised of bipartisan members of congress and private citizens and is working with America250.org – the nonprofit supporting organization – to engage Americans across the country in designing the largest anniversary in our nation’s history. America250 continues planning its multi-year-long commemorative activities leading up to the Semiquincentennial, engaging all 50 states and 6 U.S. territories, the private sector, and national and community-based organizations to achieve our mission. ."

Yes Bush and Obama are on the nonpartisan entity charged by Congress with planning the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

"Today, Aug 01, 2024, America250 announced that President George W. Bush, Mrs. Laura Bush, President Barack Obama, and Mrs. Michelle Obama will serve as Honorary National Co-Chairs of the official nonpartisan entity charged by Congress with planning the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
As Honorary Co-Chairs, President and Mrs. Bush and President and Mrs. Obama will lend their voices to the nationwide effort to mark this historic milestone.

This is known as America250
In their Jan. 2025 report to congress as to where they were in planning for July 4th, 2026 America 250 had no mention of parade plans for the 250th anniversary of the US Army on June 14th, 2025.

Yes, Biden administration approved a permit for a festival, not for a parade.
The permit for a parade wa submitted by

"The US Army Military District of Washington did file a permit application for a festival celebrating the Army's 250th birthday in June 2024 during the Biden administration."
However, the Army's 2024 permit application described a festival, not a parade, with a maximum of only 300 military personnel and civilians in attendance.
"Mike Litterst, a spokesperson for the National Mall and Memorial Parks under the National Parks Service, stated in a release, "There were two separate permitted events celebrating the Army's 250th birthday on the National Mall that took place on Saturday, June 14, 2025.""
"The first was a festival on the Mall, for which an application was submitted on June 13, 2024; the second was the military parade, which submitted an application on March 30, 2025," Litterst wrote in an email.

Did anyone else realize that just before the parade started Happy Birthday was sung to Trump.
Army parade crowd sings 'Happy Birthday' to President Trump
The crowd at the Army's 250th anniversary parade sings 'Happy Birthday' to President Donald Trump as first lady Melania Trump joins him at the podium.

Yet, the Trump administration was denying there was to be a parade as late as April 2025.

" “No military parade has been scheduled,” the White House said in an email response to questions from POLITICO.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/07/white-house-denies-military-parade-trump-birthday-00277566

Finally, the army had been planning celebrations for their 250th for two years, none including a military parade.

"The Army’s 250th birthday celebration has been in the works for two years, Army officials said. But adding a parade was the Trump White House’s idea, so planning for that began only two months ago."

So it comes down to Trump haters having a problem with a festival vs parade.
Wow such scrutiny over things that matter! Lol!

Be honest...we all know that even if it was a single soldier everyone would be losing their minds the same way.

Meanwhile, as looting and vandalism are happening...crickets!

The hypocrisy of the Left is legendary! Lol!

Trump had to leave the G7 early to pose for the raising of those 2 new flagpoles on the White House lawn.

Leaving the G7 because Carney is already doing what Trump wants him to.
Besides, the G7 is nothing without the US so there's that.

 

[Skoob]

Backed off right the fuck quick this time!

That was funny.

I told him from the beginning he was embarrassing himself with this whole tactic.
"It was really Obama and Biden, derp-derp-derp".

It really does seem to provide more evidence for the idea he just learned talking points that were supposed to win arguments with the "libtards" in his head and he doesn't actually even know anything about what he's been trained to parrot.

Backed off? What exactly are you talking about? Festival vs parade? That's the hill you want to die on here?

Jeezuz when the unhinged lunatic left starts to spiral the gibberish and semantics go off the charts!

I just think it's funny that even if there was a single soldier playing a bugle you guys would be losing your shit so scale doesn't really matter here does it?

Desperation and TDS at its finest right here!

Lol!

 

[Skoob]

Yes, the Repugs are now doing exactly what they accused the Dems of doing..... that is, propping up a mentally and physically ill President and pretending that he is ok. HE IS NOT! The world is in peril because of it Bad enough that he's destroying American democracy, but now he's threatening the international order and taking sides in wars too. What happened to "destroy America first"?

The lunatic left can't even come up with their own original ideas.
Did you feel better when the Dems were running the country without the President?

 

[Skoob]

That is a prime example of his Olympic level mental gymnastics only to faceplant. lmfao.

Sure Mr. Reuse Booster...Initiate!

 

[Skoob]

Don't bring sources into this.
You know how that upsets the Skooby types.

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias" and all that.

Says the guy who never provides sources.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Festival vs parade? That's the hill you want to die on here?
......and semantic

There is no semantics here.
A festival and a military parade have very different meanings/definitions.

Sure Mr. Reuse Booster...Initiate!

That attempted come back is as weak as diaper Donny's bowel control.

Weren't you one of the MAGA that was bragging that trump would never start a war and would be the america first, no war president?

Ahh, the "the words only mean what I want them to mean" part of the Skoob bit, followed soon by "Semantics!" I'm sure.

Again.
You knew this was a laughably stupid tactic to take.
Something even children would reject as bullshit ass covering, and yet you seem to keep doubling down on it.

At least the "This doesn't even matter!" retreat strategy is time-honoured, even if a clear admission of defeat on your part.

Be honest...we all know that even if it was a single soldier everyone would be losing their minds the same way.

What a ridiculous statement.
I get you are trying to self-sooth, but show some dignity.

Meanwhile, as looting and vandalism are happening...crickets!

The hypocrisy of the Left is legendary! Lol!

Yup.
Full retreat and capitulation.

I did try to warn you.
