I mean, if the Russians (and even the French!) do it, why wouldn’t Donald want to have a big military parade of his very own? Imagine, all the tanks, and soldiers, and missile carriers, and APCs, and jeeps, and more soldiers, and everyone saluting him at the review stand. It would be like he owned the biggest set of toy soldiers anywhere!
Trump met Monday with French president Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. Trump reminisced about how much he enjoyed watching France’s military parade while in Paris on Bastille Day.
He then said he was considering ordering up a similar spectacle for Pennsylvania Avenue, potentially as soon as next year. Trump said he asked his chief of staff, John Kelly, to look into it.
And it will be the biggest, shiniest, biggest, best (did I mention biggest? because it’s not like he’s compensating or anything) military parade ever! Or so we will be assured.

Big missiles. With stars painted on them. And goose-stepping, gun-toting models, just like in China.
Great fun.
All the cool dictatorships and banana republics do it, we would hate to be left out on even more pointless jingoism than we already have. Even better I'm sure he can find some republican friend of his treasury secretary to find someone to film it and calm it "Triumph of the Trump".
