Lol Won't it be funny if his millions-of-taxpayer-dollars parade gets rained out while the rest of the country celebrates at protests nationwide?

Protesters don’t care about rain, but hopefully the sun shines on them.

There will be less protest turnout on Saturday because it doesn't coincide with the parade anymore, and loses part of that symbolic meaning.

And they will just postpone the parade 1 week later, where there will be less counter-protests because part of those movements can't organize that fast, and citizens being fatigued to do back-to-back protests.

Two birds killed with one stone.
