It was billed by the Trump administration as a glorious celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary combined with a birthday party for Dear Leader Donnie himself, who turned 79 on Saturday.
But it wound up being a rain-soaked and uninspiring clusterf*ck that was so boring Trump appeared to be dozing off at times as he watched the troops go through the motions of marching in formation.
Insprational? Only if you no longer have a pulse or are easily entertained.
However, there was one good thing about Trump’s self-congratulatory birthday bash: It provided endless mockery and trolling aimed directly at Depends Dependent Donnie Douchebag.
America's army won WWI and WWII, and this is the best they could fucking do with $45 million for this parade?

Trump having a sad little tank parade while Israel is wrecking the entire IRGC with precision strikes just underscores our decline. https://t.co/TvVvyUIJGr
So, Trump’s “look at me” parade flopped. Another epic waste of OUR tax payer dollars. pic.twitter.com/S8o8LFQKeE

Trump’s parade is a $40 million taxpayer-funded flop. A waste. A total dud, and he’s not looking happy about it. Actually, no one is.
A fascist cosplay gone wrong. pic.twitter.com/saVlF2zWJH
They will lie, because they're Republicans and Republicans lie. Thats what they do.

LMAO. This your king? More people showed up in Idaho to protest Trump than showed up to celebrate him in D.C.

His “birthday parade” crowd couldn’t fill a food court. Don’t let him gaslight you; share this footage before they pretend it never happened. pic.twitter.com/ALDyEB7cMj
Nothing more embarrassing than throwing yourself a birthday party and only the paid help shows up—which includes your “wife.” Empty heart = Empty stands…Empty streets…Empty mall…Empty everything. 😆😆😆 #trumpParade pic.twitter.com/HUJoKkBm6U
