Yahoo News: Trump orders Pentagon to plan military parade in Washington


President Trump apparently loves a parade.

At the direction of the president, Pentagon generals have begun planning a grand parade on the streets of the U.S. capital to showcase American military might.

At a Jan. 18 meeting attended by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., Trump set into motion his desire for a Bastille Day-inspired military spectacle, Pentagon officials confirmed Tuesday.

“The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France,” a military official told the Washington Post, which added that the parade was being worked on by Pentagon brass.

Among the unresolved questions about the military display are how much it will cost taxpayers, the date the parade would be held, what role Trump himself will play in the festivities, and whether it would be a one-off event or something to be replicated.

The fucked up thing is that they're taking this as a presidential directive and are already planning routes and shit.

Hope they put a couple of tanks on the shitty DC streets and fuck up the infrastructure. Hopefully a sinkhole takes Trump down with him.
