President Donald Trump’s fantasy war parade will come to life on Veterans Day, and you’re paying for it.
The military march he demanded the nation hold in his honor, which most U.S. veterans do not want, is now scheduled to take place in Washington D.C. this November. He wanted tanks and other war vehicles, but to minimize damage to roads, the Pentagon memo released on Friday says there will be no tanks. And we say, no thanks.
The memo goes on to list various guidelines for the November 11 event.
“Include wheeled vehicles only, no tanks – consideration must be given to minimize damage to local infrastructure,” the memo says.
Wonder if he’ll get to sit in the big boy truck again this time.

Instead of a military parade, let’s have a parade of all the women Trump has sexually assaulted. It would last longer.

Really looking forward to Trump going to North Korea, they throw him a military parade, and he just stays.

And in BREAKING Trump military parade news: Troops will wear uniforms dating back to 1776 as they march from the WH to the Capitol on Veteran's Day. "Heavy air" (flyby) at the end of the parade, but no tanks that will crumble roads.

What Trump will pay for: A wall, a military parade, tax cuts for the rich, rallies, personal vacations, paying off pornstars
