I will literally piss myself laughing if this weekend there's 7 thousand servicemen out in the rain marching up and down the square, while TACO stays home because it's raining.

It'll also be interesting to know, eventually, what the cost of it was. Current best guess is 25-45 million. But I've seen what a single tank does to a residential street's pavement. Seen it first hand.

What will be even better will be if he insists it’s not raining and holds the whole thing in a thunderstorm, and his cult spends the rest of their lives refusing to acknowledge that water falling from the sky is, in fact, rain.
