Pentagon rejects Trump’s request for military-style sendoff

The Pentagon will break with recent tradition by refusing to engage in an armed forces farewell or throw Donald Trump's requested military-style parade as the president leaves office on Wednesday.
Trump wants an extravagant goodbye – not unlike the exuberance he exuded during his presidency – despite his recent fallout of favor with middle-of-the-line Republicans following the storming of the Capitol earlier this month, which Democrats impeached him for last Wednesday claiming he 'incited an insurrection.'
The president wanted his departure from Washington to involve a 'military-style sendoff and a crowd of supporters,' a person who has discussed the matter with Trump told CNN.
It isn't clear if Trump wanted his farewell parade to take place at the White House, Joint Base Andrews or his final destination of Palm Beach – but the issue is moot now that the Pentagon says it won't participate regardless.

Amazing how the media and deep state has brainwashed so many. This is a great man and he was a great president - did more good for the world than the last 5 presidents combined - really sick stuff

I'd refuse to even take AF1. Bring Trump Force One back and head down to Florida. Frick DC, frick the warhawks in the Pentagon.

You get a clue. Outside of the Trump faithful, this man is reviled.

This is worse than the Mandela effect, they're just making shite up and calling it as true. Wouldn't be surprised if one day you see "news sites" insert backdated articles to show you, "See? It's always been this way! How dare you question the narrative!"
And with deepfake technology now getting better and better, required footage won't be an issue, either.
Either way, something tells me Trump didn't ask for this.

"I understand what The Atlantic reported is probably painful for the president to hear," said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton. "But it's not a surprise to anyone in uniform after watching how he behaved toward Sen. McCain."
Trump infamously mocked Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who died in 2018, for being captured by the enemy while serving in the Vietnam War.

You hate Trump because he's white.
Your hatred for whites is blinding your decision making.
Just relax man.
Try to not be a racist.
Trump loves you even though you hate white people and America in general.

'He's Not a War Hero': Donald Trump Mocks John McCain's Service
Moderator Frank Luntz described McCain — a former naval pilot taken prisoner for almost six years during the Vietnam War — as a "war hero."
"He's not a war hero," Trump said mockingly. "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
Trump, whose own lack of military service has been called into question in the past, said later Saturday that he did not go to war because he was a student at first, and then because of bone spurs in his foot, reported MSNBC.

His redneck racist militia that executed his failed coup attempt can give his parade from their jailhouse.
