Oh, reality. How we miss thee. How we remember what it was like when you were around. We had a four-year intermission from insanity when Joe Biden was in office and now we’re back in Wonderland again, where the words mean what you want them to mean and the numbers, OMG, the numbers…the numbers are beyond description. Oddjob Steven Cheung must have seen Trumpty off weeping in the corner and decided to cheer him up. Here’s what that looks like.

@MeidasTouch Exact attendance at the U.S. Army 250th anniversary parade in DC on June 14, 2025, is unclear. Permits allowed for 200,000 at the parade and 50,000 at the festival, but reports suggest actual turnout was lower, likely in the tens or low hundreds of thousands. No…

I imagine that Snopes or some fact checker will come up with a real figure but there is no freaking way that a quarter of a million people showed up. That is Cheung channeling his inner Sean Spicer and telling Trump that his birthday crowd, like his inauguration crowd, was the biggest in history. Sheer fantasy and remember, Cheung is the communications director. He wouldn’t lie now, would he? Nah. The Wall Street Journal called the crowd “sparse.” Why would they do that if it was actually yuge? Hmmm???
At the beginning of the parade route, a sparse and quiet crowd greeted the U.S. troops dressed in uniforms from the Revolutionary War to modern day. A few protestors holding “NO KINGS” signs aloft mingled with patriotic revelers as a light drizzle began shortly after the start of the event. There haven’t been disruptions so far, aside from ominous looking clouds.
The loudest cheers came when the first tanks rumbled down Constitution Avenue, and the road seems to be holding up well. Tank crews pointed and waved at the spectators, encouraging them to cheer. But a number of large tanks are now on the way. There have also been several airplane flyovers, causing parade watchers to swivel their heads from the road up to the sky.
The Journal also said, “officials offered no estimate of how many people attended the parade.” It was not a big deal from all of the photos and film taken, but forget about that. Oddjob says it was a quarter of a millon people, that’s gospel. Never forget how we do things in Trump world, “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Yes, boss, we understand.
Oh, and by the way, “It’s unclear whether the Navy and the Marine Corps, branches also founded in 1775, will similarly get $45 million parades this year. Neither Trump nor the Pentagon has mentioned any such plans.” Don’t hold your breath on that. Donald wanted a parade for his birthday, Donald got a parade for his birthday — along with 2,000 protests nationwide which were packed, including in red and deep red areas of the country. Careful what you wish for.
that’s because they will be stationed in front of federal buildings. no soup for you!
Irony is still alive and well…the maga crowd cheering for a military, misused by a draft dodging TRAITOR, while never serving a SINGLE DAY in uniform. Why honor the Marines?…those fools were the first to hit the beach, with an excellent chance of being seriously wounded or killed. We already know, from the years of disrespect, and abuse of the troops, that our toddler in chief is only interested in forcing the troops to dishonor their oath to defend the constitution and support his dictatorship. FACT. So Maga go phuck yourselves with a pineapple.
A few thousand turn up to celebrate his little procession of bored soldiers.
A few million turn up at events to protest his existence.
Nice odds for the next elections.
Pineapple 🍍 Ouch! 😂
