I bet the orange menace didn’t even threaten imprisonment of anyone getting out of step in his dicktater parade. Shows he’s unfit, unready, and unwell, so assuming dictatorial power is just out of the question. Third-rate dictator. Tsk tsk.

Trump's 'parade' was sloppy and showed absolutely no degree of the discipline necessary for an effective armed force.
A joke that lowered even further the perception of the American military.

We have become a global laughing stock under his reign.
When will MAGA wake up? When will the GOP leaders realize that the world thinks that they are clowns.

WTF will it take?

To be fair, the Chinese military probably had a bit more than a few months to prepare. But, oh Donny, there are a few things one needs to be careful about. Such as don’t try to compete with communist countries’ military parades. They’ve got that one down to a fine honed science.

They are usually staged by insecure leaders overcompensating for their small d*cks.
