but was told the streets in DC were not made for the weight of cannons and tanks. The equipment would do exactly what you suggested—-chew up the pavement.

This whole idea is just another of tRump’s obsessions with being a dictator. He thinks the whole
experience will be made to order for him. Ironic when you consider how hard he tried to avoid the draft back when he could have been in the military had he been so hot to trot for the troops. He is the world’s biggest hypocrite, just like his Christian credentials he tries to wave around from time to time. All fake and all for show.
