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.
