Trump day parades
by digby
If you’re wondering why Trump is so adamant about spending massive sums to build up the military for no reason, you’ll recall that he has some big ideas about showing off American Greatness:
Donald Trump plans on displaying the United States military’s strength when he becomes president by having troops march in parades.
“Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country,” Trump told the Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday morning. “And we’re going to show the people as we build up our military, we’re going to display our military.”
“That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, we’re going to be showing our military,” he continued.
Trump made the comments while talking about his campaign and its slogan, “Make America Great Again.” He revealed an option for a slogan for his 2020 re-election campaign to the Washington Post.
“Are you ready?” he told the Post. “‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point.”
That’s what he wants.
