It would be cool if no one went. Just him, Musk, and some right wing drifters on empty streets.

They're going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can't blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.

I remember him wanting a big military parade during his first term too. Somehow he didn't get it.

The article says "A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event."

He can stand on a podium and wave like the Soviet leaders of old.
