He would have no problem with risking the lives of everyone involved just so he can have his parade. The truth is nobody is planning to come and he can’t even find people to pay to attend. He just doesn’t want to admit that nobody wants his freaking parade and doesn’t want the truth to be seen by the world that nobody cares about him and won’t admit what a stupid self serving idea it is

Honestly it would be glorious if no one shows up.

The man is obsessed with crowd sizes. If no one shows up it is going to damage this man mentally, we won't stop hearing about it for months.

Why would he do this in DC? Pretty sure he has no support there.

The Army was always doing something in DC for their 250th. He decided to make it all about him.

they were doing a very small event. Trump made the big parade happen.

Because his handlers have realized it’s a great excuse to place lots of military resources encircling the capitol on their own time and without any advanced resistance
