A Grand Military Parade: Is It For The Troops or Trump?

Welcome

The White House has confirmed there are plans in the works for a grand military parade in Washington D.C. We envision Donald Trump wants it to be HUGE, the biggest in the world. One where tank size matters.

One we have seen coming from North Korea perhaps? Trump reportedly said he wants one like he saw in France.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed parade logistics are being worked out saying, “President Trump is incredibly supportive of America’s great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe. He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation.”
