So Trump is now Talking about a "Great 4th of July Parade."

Yea now that we know that the piece of Shit Inaugural Parade was a complete failure as far as of attendance.. But it was a complete success as far as money being funded to Trump under the table for his political battles...Look up that Disgusting Coal Baron (Murry) who flooded millions upon millions to Trump's disgraceful Inaugural Parade. Yep Trump made millions on his piece of shit parade.

Now you can figure out why our Stupid idiotic disgusting President is now pushing for a 4 of july Parade in D.C..

'Why fireworks on the Fourth of July? John Adams, that’s why.

The Boston-born Founding Father, who would later serve as the country’s second president, was the one who spurred the idea to light up the skies each Independence Day.

A day after the Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, 1776 — yes, July 2 — Adams wrote a letter from Philadelphia to his wife back home in Boston commemorating the day.

His letter to Abigail Adam, dated July 3, 1776, read in part:

But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.

…

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.'

This would be a perfect way to get his military parade. It is a day that we had to fight for and what other way is there to celebrate than show off our military power to prove to other countries that we could do it again.

You know, the one where he sits in an emperor's box like his man-crush dictators, and reviews an endless parade of military armaments and troops as they goose-step down Pennsylvania Avenue?

Oh yeah, JUST what America needs-- a fucking May Day, Red-Square-style parade.
