What a great idea! It's a wonder no one has thought of it before!

President Donald Trump wasn't able to cut a deal for a grandiose Veterans Day military parade, but this year, he says he aims to start a new 4th of July tradition.

The only hitch? The "tradition" he says he wants to start in the nation's capital already exists.
Trump offered few concrete details Tuesday when he mused to reporters that it could take place in Washington and it could include a parade.
"We're thinking about doing, on the 4th of July or thereabouts, a parade, a 'Salute to America' parade. I guess it'd be really more of a gathering than a parade. Perhaps at the Lincoln Memorial. We're looking at sites. But we're thinking about doing something that would, perhaps, become a tradition," Trump said.

Nope. Not the Onion. It's from "fake news" CNN.
 
It is just Trump rambling on about whatever the hell comes to his mind... probably worthless, will result in little to nothing, and hardly worthy of discussion.
 
As long as it requires more federal deficit spending then it must be a MAGA idea.

Yeah, my first thought when I heard a news wonk talking about this last night was "This has got to be an ONION piece".

Then I discovered it was real.

Then I did another mental head slap, another one in a countless number of those since Fat Donald descended from his golden tower and declared he wanted to destroy America as we all knew it.

The man has no boundaries of ego or idiocy.

The estimate for the original Dictator's Military Style parade he wanted was as much as $93 million, but hey, the Fire Works will already be purchased on hand for the Fourth of July celebration so we taxpayers could save $270,000 right there.

:doh

As I've been trying to create more and more distance between myself and the man I voted in, I felt almost embarrassed seeing him make those comments and the fact no one told him how ridiculous he would sound. Or did he just blurt it out unannounced? Either way it was an uncomfortable moment to watch because I found myself wondering if he's unclear why all the events take place in relation to Independence day. I mean the most obvious answer would be who wouldn't? But it was like the only thing he connected was we already have fireworks, so money saved.

It was much too bizarre for me.

Much of what Trump says is way too bizarre for me.
