Doesn’t matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.
I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.
Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.
I didn’t realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that’s fucking glorious
Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
Who’s he saluting? You didn’t serve donny, now sit down
Maybe there’s a North Korean general across the street?
Like it or not, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Literally the highest ranking officer in the military.
What presidents post WW2 did serve?
what president post WW2 pretend they did?
This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.
Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?
Local cover band even.
Her looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Yup. Like an overly enthusiastic little boy trying to make his parents happy.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.
There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable
The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.
Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.
Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.
Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.
It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though
Oh was that the moment they played ‘fortunate son’?
He was born on 3rd and thinks he hit a triple.
Why did you Photoshop a massive asshole in the middle of the pic?
I knew it was too good to be true, but it’s still funny AF.
I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.
Yeah they were just kinda shuffling along.
It was the Army’s way of protesting this shit too.
Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
Even so, he’s known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn’t there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?
Well now I see it, oh well I’ll leave the comment up to be mocked
No mockery needed, it’s still very valid
I wonder, are the empty seats photoshopped though?
That was my first thought.
Yes.
Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?
So, according to Trump after he’s told that number, “millions and millions and millions, a parade like you’ve never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I’d say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must’ve had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade”.
All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡
Lmao yall are still angry at Trump for being insufficiently hostile to North Korea.
I’m sure he was playing with something while talking to Putin but I doubt it was an accordion.
It’s worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.
To spell it out for y’all, it’s a joke number.
86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.
47 is the trump president number.
Thank you. I am one of those thick individuals that did not see the code hahaha.
I didn’t get it till someone else commented about it either.
Jesus. That’s way lower than the generous estimate I considered credible enough from /r/theydidthemath yesterday.
The saddest trombone.
My home town’s has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School’s marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.
Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.
8647
8472
86 - 47 <- not random
. . . Star Trek?
This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.
Trump would tell us that your parade’s attendance is about 500 losers, his parade had well over 200,000 very fine people.
Our Pensacola Mardi Gras parades stomps whatever that pathetic show was.
My initial reaction was embarrassment for Trump.
So 8 highschools. That’s pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn’t even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.
Four public high schools in my city and their combined attendance is over 9000
The 3 in my district total over 7400. He/she must be talking about small towns schools.
WHAT 9000??
THERE’S NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT
86
47
My highschool was more than 2000 people. And it was so new that our first semester was on two different campuses and they were still building int around us for another two years when we did move in.
Now I live in a very different area. The localist mega church gets 17,000+ butts in seats each week.
8500 people is less than normal tourism on a Saturday for DC. It was actually a net negative for attendance over just a normal day.
All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it’s 250k
My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put ‘huge’ in the title of their article about it.
Nah, it was bigger than Obama’s inauguration.
Not to judge, but that “crowd” looks a bit, uh, frumpy.
This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.Pathetic.
Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don’t give a flying fuck about drumpf’s lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it’s literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice
Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.
Putinesque feculance
