Hey! Donald Trump is finally getting his military parade!

Although it's less of a parade and more of the military taking up positions to defend DC against Trump's radical right wing terrorist supporters. Still, armed soldiers and armored vehicles are in the streets of Washington, D.C. Isn't that what Trump always wanted?

The MSM continues to plaster *'s face and yakety on the screen, internet news items on phones and on 'puters....

A psychologist said on tv recently, "We weren't meant to live like this." You can apply that to almost everything that has come upon us.

I'll bet Trump can't contain his excitement over all of these preparations. This is certainly going to be the most bigly military "parade" in DC in as long as I can remember!

16. Thankfully they're all there to protect Biden and Harris' ascension to power, not to help him stay

and to ensure Trump leaves peacefully while Joe and Kamala are honored in an inspiring spectacle that will be sure to have the biggest audience in history of the world showing that our democracy is strong.

The unprecedented military presence is all due to him and he can even claim credit!
