How Was That Trump Birthday Parade

[1blackman1]

I haven’t heard much about the largest crowds for any parade ever in history. I know it must’ve been the best and most attended Parade ever. So, how was Trump’s parade???

I watched the parade honoring the 250th birthday of The United States Army.
It was a great show. The Army did a great job.

Even some of the more liberal news outlets such as MSNBC gave it great reviews.

When was the one you are referring to held?

Oh I’m sure they were the same one. Was it well attended? I’m sure the Army was admirable as always, we have the best and most professional Army in the world. I should know, I was in it. That said, Trump’s bday parade. lol.

Truck carrying tank after Army's 250th birthday parade kills pedestrian in DC

The accident occurred on the evening of June 16 – two days after the parade – on New York Avenue while a contract truck driver was hauling the tank from the West Potomac Park staging area to a railyard in Jessup, Maryland, according to an internal Army document obtained by USA TODAY. The truck was part of a larger convoy of vehicles.

So was I in the Army. And you are correct, the Army was Admirable.

Their Commander in Chief was on the Podium. And since the Army has been planning this affair for quite some time, I doubt they planned it to be on President Trump’s Birthday.

But if you chose to celebrate the President’s Birthday on that same day, I have no objections.

I think the parade was the fifth or sixth biggest story of the day.

White House placed the attendance at 250,000. Virtually all other estimates ranged from 20-50k. (It’s because of the Army, not TACO man’s grand birthday, LOL)

I’d have had my ass kicked if I marched like a lot of the personnel in the parade. Kinda cool to see the period uniforms, but also a lot of unpleasant memories.

Trump and Natasha both fell asleep.


LOLLING!

more like maybe 25000

[rooster]

Yup. Unofficial estimates by the Army were 25-40,000.

No way Trump and the White House would lie about attendance.

Yes, there was to be a 250th celebration for the US Army, but there were no plans for a parade until very recently.
