as the Pope, in a totally disrespectful, unfunny Poke at The Pope, I am thinking that he'll dress up in a military uniform at his "Birthday Parade." It is the next step.
I'm guessing he'll wear a cap, maybe a sash, a few pins, and his donated Purple Heart. I think he went to military school, so he may remake whatever that outfit was. Elon will show up in his faux storm trooper outfit and cap. It's a toss up if Melania will even show, but if she does, she'll definitely be wearing a stiff brimmed hat.
I can't do photoshop, otherwise I'd demonstrate.

(19,263 posts)I mean, anything that could reasonably be mistaken for an actual US military uniform,
we'd better hear EVERY veteran's organization and ALL the ones who would say it about a Dem, yelling about STOLEN VALOR.
Some people claiming to be on the side of veterans crapped all over John Kerry's ACTUAL service and ACTUAL medals.
They sure as hell better speak up if Dumpster shows up in a fake uniform.

(44,738 posts)if memory serves, was wearing an attachment to a ribbon he supposedly did not earn. A reporter was on his way to the pentagon to question him about it. ADM Boorda killed himself before the reporter arrived. ADM Boorda was an Enlisted Mans Admiral. Honor, integrity, grit, leadership ability out the Wazoo. Compare and contrast.

(44,738 posts)I visited his grave in Arlington a few years later. At the time all by himself with a small headstone.

(2,173 posts)I read his wiki. Seems like a sad, sad mix up. And in the end it stated the Navy said he wasn't entitled to the V devices afterall.

(19,263 posts)I'll admit, I have an active desire to avoid looking at any image of that POS, so I didn't delve into those threads much. My understanding was that someone else created that photoshopped image but HE - TSF himself - promoted it on social media. (and that the fact of his promoting it was fact-checked and found true)
So the OP might be technically incorrect but still it is a valid question.
It is bad enough that he is wasting taxpayer $$$ on a parade for himself !! while cutting services for American citizens and generally undermining our government. If he cosplays at all on this one, it will be an extreme disrespect to actual military and veterans. And in that case we need to be all over any ostensible military or veteran org that doesn't call him out for it. (IF he just wears a suit and tie or something else more appropriate, the parade itself is still inappropriate. We'll see how he spins it.)

(9,739 posts)He didn't actually "duded himself up" as the pope.
Of course, that doesn't mean he wouldn't dress up in some uniform costume and parade around like an Apt Pupil.
