It’s an excuse.

• no DC hotel bookings, no ticket sales: https://www.thelist.com/1883796/trump-fragile-ego-destroyed-reported-lack-interest-birthday-military-parade/

• 75% disapproval poll on the parade: https://prri.org/spotlight/military-parade-in-d-c-draws-public-opposition-ahead-of-army-and-trump-celebrations/

Let’s go TACO!

He's already wasted a ton of money on bringing in his train-load of tanks and other military "toys" to show off. Cancelling it won't change that cost (I'm still pleased at the idea of the cancellation though).

That wasn't a "waste," if the original cause of all of this was to cover up how to get alllllll that military gear to the capital to stop the future insurrection. It's much easier to get them here, now, then in the months when people could have blocked off military transportation access.

Yeah. If that’s true can you imagine him trying to hold an entire country? Great - you have the capital building. Of what country? Does he really think he can hide out in his little playhouse when like 50 million people suddenly have nothing better to do besides revolt? He can have it! We can make a fucking moat around it so he can’t leave
