The Trump Parade army was NOT marching in step.
For Donald Trump, the men deliberately broke stride. They sauntered along.
This was nothing like their practice drills the day before, which involved crisp stepping and razor-sharp uniforms.
Observers call this “desertion in place”.
For those who think the parade shambling is a legitimate form of marching – “route step” - I have this reference:
The mis-stepping was not accidental. When you have been drilled, it takes concentration to mis-step.
Another blurted: “I was unaware of this ‘practice’, but it immediately sprang to my mind when I saw them mis-stepping!!! That they were doing it on purpose to signal their dissent!!”
The parade was called “the lowest moment in the history of the USA,” by one observer.
Gong show: drones ran out of battery charge and had to be carried by soldiers.
And BTW, the final audience count was 8,647. Pathetic. There were more people marching in the parade, adding up the 6,000 soldiers, the tank crews and the air force members. And they were paid to be there.
Now, Donald, tell us about how the protesters were being paid by George Soros!
If Soros paid each of the 13-million protesters a measly $100/day, his tab would have come to $1.3-trillion.
About the amount that Trump has pulled out of the healthcare system to pass along to his rich buddies.
This has huge implications:
· This army is NOT going to invade Canada, Greenland or Panama for Donald Trump;
· It is NOT going to overthrow the Constitution to put an Orange Twitbird on a throne; and
· If Trump doesn’t start showing some respect to these people – like arranging bedding and food – then they will not hold back the crowds when the next big surge descends on Washington.
The last point is important in understanding why the soldiers turned on Trump.
One commentator observed: “Imagine being told its a parade celebrating the president & then they force you to sleep on concrete for 3 days while practicing dnc [Drill and Ceremony} for pass &review everyday as God pisses on you [it rains]”
The result of Trump’s arrogance is desertion by the army.
They are not standing up for the president. They signed up to defend the Constitution. The entire ETHOS of the Armed Forces prevents it from serving a King.
Trump’s fall could be sudden. As Substack commentator John Hardman says, the break will come “Little by little, then all at once. This was said about Nixon’s demise, but I sense it holds true for Trump as well. There was a scent of blood in the water and the protests felt more brazen and optimistic this time.”
Do you want to see what America really looks like?
It comes from the PROTEST side of June 14th.
Listen to this kid play the National Anthem:
Or see this speech about that America really means from this young lady:
Or take a look at these eight hopeful people in tiny Red McConnelsville Ohio:
Let’s put the whole parade thing in perspective:
This is NOT a list an American president want to be on.
But here we are.
America KNOWS what a real president looks like:
After he was elected in 2009, he took a walk, without a fuss…
I’m looking forward to America’s renewal. Bring it on!
President Obama ! Now there character and brains , and being a wonderful person all in our American President ! Wish he could do it all over again🙏🏻
