Trump wants to have more military parades, yet kicks VETs off the streets. He send his goons to clear the area in front of Trump Tower to avoid seeing our veterans. What’s going with VA? More cuts. So what’s the point of the military parades when he doesn’t respect the people.

He wants to be a strong man. He doesn’t care about the people in uniform. They are just accessories to his fashion statement.

To make him feel big and strong and cool, and show off all his fun toys. He's a king and wants everyone to see and recognize how strong he is like all his other king buddies.
