President Trump on Monday told French President Emmanuel Macron he is considering having a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., on Independence Day after watching the Bastille Day celebrations on a recent trip to France.
In remarks alongside Macron during a New York trip to the United Nations, Trump marveled at the "military might" on display in Paris for Bastille Day and said seeing the parade inspired him to do something similar in the U.S.
"Because of what I witnessed, we may do something like that on July 4th in Washington down Pennsylvania [Avenue]," Trump said. "We're thinking ... of having a really great parade, to show our military strength."
Trump also noted that the U.S. spent over $700 billion on military spending this year.

I'm all for the military and mostly agree with Trump but I think we can find better use for the money it would take to hold such an event.

Lefties will declare that he is going to use the military to take over congress.
This should be fun to watch

Eh. That's a dumb idea.
The US doesn't need to hold parades to show its military might.

Typically because it is something that authoritarian states like North Korea, China, and Russia do.
If he going to mix in floats and fun/happy stuff, fine. But if he is going to parade tanks and missiles down the middle of Washington, DC, then I dunno about that.

When we elect a carnival barker we just might. Trashy.

That would certainly be a bizarre, WTF moment, but one I would absolutely enjoy.

lol literally everyone will be against this.
Military because they don't want to draw attention from the public of how much money they spend on military goods. We like to love in ingnorance.
SJWs because they hate America and especially hate the military.
Avegarge joe 6 pack because it'll cost a ton and we think there are better things to do than watch a fricking parade on July 4. Like drink beer and grill.

Jefferson had four parades on July 4th during his two terms:
quote:
1801- Jefferson hosts the first public Fourth of July Executive Mansion reception.
.
1802- The President is in Washington receiving guests.
1803- The President holds a reception at the Executive Mansion between the hours of 12
and 2 p.m. for the various heads of departments, foreign ministers, military officers, and
others. He also reviews a military parade.
1804- The President hosts a reception with refreshments at the Executive Mansion and
reviews a military parade.
1805- The President holds a reception at the Executive Mansion to the sounds of "a
powerful band of music, playing patriotic airs at short intervals."
1806- Jefferson hosts a reception at the Executive Mansion.
1807- The President "standing in the north portico" of the Executive Mansion reviews a
military parade and thereafter receives the officers, and opens the Mansion for guests.
1808- The President hosts a reception at the Executive Mansion and reviews a military
parade.
If you time the following link tells what each president was doing on the 4th.

Because I've been in the military, hate inspections and marching, and enjoy being off work on the 4th.

Amen brother...can you imagine once the "five minutes prior to the five minutes prior to the five minutes prior" trickles down for something like that?
Joe is going to have to be at the motorpool at 3am...two days prior

The only kind of parade I can stand is a patriotic parade and I am a big fan of those.
