it wouldn't be much different if you were trying to make it embarrassing *on purpose*.

It made me feel the same way I felt watching Raygun.

And it seems I'm not the only one.

lol

What a WASTE of 45 million dollars. DJT is feeling real embarrassed. No love, no support no... audience! Donnie is done!!!!

I never watched it, because it was a stupid idea to have the parade begin with, much less in the rain... ...but oh, how sweet it is! I do have to admit: even that detail caught me off-guard, since I was expecting this to be filled with MAGA supporters aplenty. After all, they *are* like lemmings.

And now I learned 47 actually went and got Coinbase to sponsor his parade. This is the kind of stuff I'd expect from late-night TV, not from what used to be the shining example of democracy.

What do you think the orange man will say tomorrow! Don't be shy!

He'll just downplay the numbers of the protests and lie about his silly parade.

But...we know the truth!

As he is wont to do. To tell the truth would mean admitting that he lies, cheats, and steals for a living, even to people he once considered friends.

"THE RADICAL LEFT STRIKES AGAIN! I TOLD YOU A RAINY DAY PARADE BRINGS GOOD LUCK, AND YOU DID NOT LISTEN! I hope you're happy that you turned your back on the Army on this historic day, because that shows how ungrateful you are for this amazing country."

Not biting! Go to sleep!

The unfortunately it was a 20 million plus embarrassment! 🤦‍♀️

Now the $20 million question: how does he get all that money back, knowing what's done is done and there's no undoing the past?

Did we expect any different?

$45B wasted! So much about government efficiency

😀

Run it backwards like leaving Vietnam.

This thing is like 80 years old and still worked better (made through the parade) than russian armata. It can squeak all it wants :) But still, fuck kings and their birthdays.

Absolutely. Hats off to the engineers and mechanics that made those machines hum in the service of ending fascism. Let 'em squeak. It's just that usually, a parade has music, or some kind of festive background noise. This is just so ... poorly phoned in. Like the Fyre festival of parades.

I heard some 21 year old was put in charge

Music isn’t really their thing. I mean, good music isn’t their thing.

That's what happens when smart people create things.

You didn’t need to include the photo. 🤣

So pathetically sad.

I was too busy picketing with the People protesting the Mad King

the only thing embarrassing is people admitting they're paying attention to it. I cleaned up my office today and only remembered it because of the cascade of libs feeding his ego.

I do enjoy Melania trying not to crack a gleeful smile, to say nothing of Hegseth’s scowl.

Well Dozin' Donnie, you insisted on it.

I hope you made your precious Army troops happy now that they've been made to look like fools. Surely a great use of all that government money, no doubt! I know for sure your party won't balk at that whatsoever!

Am I the only one who detects a smirk on Melania's mouth? 😉

Melania's glancing over, thinking, "Is he dead yet?"

She is as awful as he is

I don’t know whether to feel badly from the military or not?!

I get it

Oh, I don't. They knew what they were doing at it was *awesome*!

Sadly, the parade made Americas’ military look weak and ineffectual.

...because it was all about a draft-dodging weakling...Putin must be so embarrassed...

Don't blame our military. France's Bastille Day & Moscow's May Day are made-for-TV military, years of march exercising. We should show them empathy. The leadership ordered them to do this. What happens when a Fox TV host is in a position of leadership. Our military is trained for war, not for show.

I don't blame them. In fact, I feel like maybe they did this for us. They have jobs to do and it's not to put on a show.

"Parade" was all those who serve in spite of their shin splints.

I refused to watch it. Better to spend the day in massive protest!

Oh I only watched clips on here. No way am I giving them ratings

Same here. I was tempted to watch PBS, just to give them a show of support, but decided a donation would be the better option.

🥰That is wonderful! We have to keep supporting PBS.🦋

I felt the exact same way. Traitor Boy is all about ratings, so I did t dare turn the channel to that garbage.

That is not a surprise whatsoever

"A big thank you to Scotts Miracle Grow-"

"brought to you by CoinBase"... despicable... However, all honor to the service men and women that had to endure that parade before a draft dodging bone spur of a person.

seriously. I would have never been able to do it.

Where is the honor?

he fell asleep at points

Quite the comedy for Putin and Kim Jong.

I can tell by the look on his traitorous face that he is not a happy camper! I love this for him! Especially on this day of all days.

Ooh he bigly mad, lolol

Did the US Army troll the orange imbecile? It looks like it. Heads might roll.

As dreary as the weather. One unintentional bright spot was the playing of Ann Wilson's Barracuda - an absolute banger about the sexual harassment she and her sister experienced in the music industry.

Tacky, shabby, cheap looking and and everything I’ve seen is embarrassing to witness even outside the US. A total flop. He deserved it. Real American patriots who remain loyal to the constitution, did not.

Did he have a very small one?

I find it glorious. Oh…you mean for him.

In the midst of all the chaos, it was nice to have something to laugh at for once. There were so few people attending, you could hear the birds chirping and the tanks squeaking it was so quiet 😂

If an electric car drove by it would have been heard.

He should have taken a leadbfrom Covid and filled the seats with cardboard cutouts 😂 It would be no more bizarre than the last time we saw it.

It's his first Criminal parade. He'll do better next one.

Peanut Parade #nokings youtu.be/IA_Zv9l9mtE?...

Maybe just an outline for future concepts

"Sponsored by Coinbase" In an administration of new lows, that one hit different. Just pathetic.

He's joking, isn't he? He actually got Coinbase to sponsor his lowly parade?

Fck Trump, and Fck his fascist parade

Trump cannot even do a parade. You'd think getting the military stuff there would be hard but the parade aspect is pretty simple. I wonder if even he was too embarassed to show the organizers clips of dictators like Hitler, Putin and Kim so they understand what he wanted.

That it was. Even Trump was failing asleep 😴 😤

💢🎯🤡🎯💢

Kind of what you'd expect when it's executed by the Republicans. They fail at EVERYTHING they do.

I hoped so

The Army deserves so much better than they got thanks to Trump's selfishness.

Glad I missed it 🤮🤮

You can count me in that category, too.

It's scaring the hell out of Switzerland and Monaco

But not the Heard and McDonald Islands! March of the Penguins was waaay better.

That's because they have bigger "peckers" than MAGAts

Monaco's military defense is France's responsibility, by a treaty that was enacted over a hundred years ago. They're not losing any sleep 😉

UK here: I turned it on last together, it was on our live 24hr news. I laughed my arse off. I would be mortified if I was american. The Metallica instrumental. The shambling troops not even marching. The dirty machines. Russia and NK have nothing to fear on this evidence

lol is Fetterman there

That's right. All in the pic need a party hat🥰🥰✌️

Prez bone spurs leads a military,that he never served,parade for himself. I had that our military was used that way!. Should have never happened

Looked great to me. What's embarrassing is Barry Obama sitting around in NW DC waiting to be crowned King.

Read an ABC headline that called it "massive." Boy, they're really on the blackmail train.

Massive failure

Well, they're just doing what the rest of the mainstream media is doing in order to avoid another laughable lawsuit from the administration.

I deleted @abcnewsbot.bsky.social (All of abc) from my television after 60 years And will NEVER watch them again So long as one single a-hole who sucked this dicktater remains there. RT !

Then again, we are seeing "1984" play out before our very eyes. But I wouldn't have thought for a second that C-SPAN, of all outlets, would bend the knee to this fascist... and yet, they're following the mainstream media's lead in doing just that.

Nooooooo Not C-SPAN!

Yep. They fell for his trap in calling it the Army's anniversary parade. They even showed interviews praising the parade in all its sadness.

The MAGAs are like roaches, they invade everything

🤜 It was! Foreign leaders however. Are the most embarrassed of all! Several of them, have spoken out. And admitted that when they saw it. They literally had to turn their heads and look away! They've never seen America look so pathetic and weak! What a fuckin Shame!🤛 🤜Fuck👊trump🤛

Completely boring because this isn’t the 1950s where people were wowed at the sight of an old tank. Trump misread the room, misjudged the actual time period we live in. Dull. Embarrassing. Epic fail.

Pics, bro!

God bless America!

That was beyond pathetic from the pic’s I’ve seen. The world isn’t laughing - they’re stunned, amused but stunned i feel, other than Russia & NK who are rolling on the floor laughing. This was an absolute embarrassment on literally a global scale demonstrating incompetence & total arrogance

The 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army, (apparently) sponsored by Coinbase. $20 million in government money down the drain.

So true eh

Things like this make me feel ashamed to be an American. We're taking the "L" because of him and his stupidity. He is the reason why millions of people spanning over 2,000 cities in this country have had to demonstrate just to show him "enough is enough."

Never be ashamed - it’s the insanity of current politics & it will change … it absolutely will because the the American people will not be defeated by abject stupidity - stay strong my friend

Totally

Absolute 💩🖥!

The No king’s marches were not though.

What attendance numbers?

Big Beautiful Birthday

Didn’t watch! Sorry to hear…well… not really. 😂

No,not the military. trumps staged birthday party.

So, business as usual for these incompetent kkklowns cosplaying whatever it is they think they are?

Temu consistency

Why TF were you watching it?

This video is a metaphor for the reality that actually exist and the one most of US. must endure, while in his head he gets to live out his warped reality at the cost of ours.

It's pretty cringe

😆😂🤣 not as advertised

“This is NOT the best breakfast I’ve ever had.”

LOL, I'm ded

trump ministry of information releases latest parade crowd photograph:

bsky.app/profile/carl...

Ridiculous

There's no way the army is going to support Trump after this humiliation.

They are trained for war, not a made-for-TV parade.

Howeve, this parade is 🔥

If they say “paid protesters” tomorrow, I swear I’m going to yell.

Let's be honest... it won't be surprising in the slightest if they dare to do it. I've seen his first term play out, and it was no better than the ongoing disaster that is his second term.

Australia (rest of the world) is laughing at the USA

That it is David. 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦☮️

That is the good news. The bad news is we footed the bill for this fiasco.

On brand for Trumplandia.

What happened?

Nobody showed up and the orange fat ass fell asleep

Poor little guy. The birthday party wasn't as grand as the parades that his friends Vladimir, Jong Un, and Xi have...😢😭

I was hoping it would be, thankful it was as sad as it should be.

LOW ENERGY, SLEEP DON.

Big Plans make even Bigger Failures

The squeaky tank was chefs kiss.

😂

Those guys knew exactly what they were doing. They slow walked and played “fortunate son.”

It was! Kind of lame!

Yeah, we saw it. Didn't even look like a "Parade", more of a walk in.

Imagine how many school lunches and meals that could have purchased for children!

All the healthcare that would allow rural hospitals to remain open.

Although...at this point I'm finding it hard to muster any sympathy for that bit. Those rural areas voted for this. They insisted on it. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.

That money could have gone towards so many good things!

From Sacramento’s capital steps. Made me laugh too hard

I was there today, but I didn't see this! Friggin' awesome.

Omg!!! Thank you for videoing this- and to whoever came up with it. 🤣🤣 Laughed so hard I snorted!!

I just saw a video of two tanks squeaking their way through the parade with no music and no cheering. It was kinda sad lol

And the Soldiers waving from the tanks must have been so demoralizing. TACO once again, used this important event to stoke his EGO! Disgusting !

$20 million in government money. And it was all for nothing in the end... except a Coinbase sponsorship. I wish I was kidding, but apparently, his birthday parade (which he spun as the Army's anniversary parade; do you see the problem with *that?*) was sponsored.

No one is surprised by that. Two reasons Trump became President. First and foremost to keep his ass out of prison. Second was to continue to use the position to get richer. He has accomplished both while doing nothing for his Country. If people elect a Convicted Felon thats exactly what you get !

Perhaps he hasn't heard of the tale of Icarus yet.

Let’s hope so ! 🤷‍♀️ 😊

I hate this for our troops. This is pathetic, but it’s pathetic because we don’t make it a priority to put on stupid shows of military force. We train our troops to work in a modern warfare environment, not march with tanks on american streets.

If you force to attend birthday party, it shows.

🤣🤣🤣🤣...NO KINGS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You mean the military charade?

Please do mention the ways, if you would. Couldn't help hoping for a downpour to melt his cotton-candy hair.

Low energy Jeb is big sad that his parade was boring af and the soldiers looked like they didn’t give a shit. That plus they play Fortunate Son???!?! 😂

Miserable old fart.

Is it true they play fortunate son????

The moment he released a tough bowel movement into his Depends….

I mean... we knew it would be.

Only to fools.

Many, MANY said this…

If you watched that, I’m very sorry

I love this for the felon 🤣🤣

A couple of observations: 1. The troops don't look psyched to be there. 2. Khaki battle fatigues lack pagentry and don't show well. 3. The troops don't exactly march in lockstep, and I am glad to see it. 4. Tanks driving by gets old pretty fast. 5. Trump is an embarrassment to this country.

Someone should have reminded those soldiers standing in the tank hatch waving to the people and carrying on that it was a a military vehicle in a military parade, not a float in a homecoming parade.

A real dud.

He had 10s of people there

ummm hehehe... AT LEAST MAKE A JOKE

Makes ya think, only peaceful protests while the orange taco is distracted by his little parade

Embarrassing parade? Sadder truth: troops are living in mold and filth while they spend millions stroking Trump's ego. 📎 topicnomad.substack.com/p/a-parade-o...

War Inc. was on point

Military parade from Temu.

Best summary yet!

Good work no King's Day protesters Good job. Dumbass just sat there looking like a dumbass and I'm pretty sure all the other world dictators were laughing their asses off probably calling each other up bro did you see that tiny crowd He's a f****** joke.

It's almost like their hearts weren't in it.

yeah no shit cuz Donald Trump is embarrassing

Face plant!

It was pretty sad looking. *Sponsored by Coinbase*

Melabia is pissed. She was promised Army Yoga to get wet and all she got were raindrops...

Pls help action this ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/duff...

Here's a real parade for a real king, today.

Welcome to the Bleak Parade

Yes, it was. Just like the useless so called “president” who ordered the “parade” to fulfill his childish ego. EMBARRASSING and RIDICULOUS.

Embarrassing for the military

I don’t think people will blame the military. I think everybody pretty much knows to blame Trump and Hegseth and the rest of that pathetic crew. Love the army!

Kegseth, the DUI hire?

Dick under the influence?

I’m not blaming the military. I’m blaming Trump for embarrassing them

Nobody blames the military. We can easily tell they don't want to be there.

I didn't watch... Diaper Donny is embarrassing.

Microdicked mentally vacant spray tanned fool needed his mega ego boosted.

"brought to you by Scott's Miracle Grow"

And “Four Seasons Landscaping “…😜

Too bad we didn't get "sponsored by viagra"

Internet, do it to it

Why did he need sponsors? Isn’t he a billionaire? That cheap was never pays for anything

Don't forget the lawn company.

Look closely at the sloppy marching. Even the troops were bored.

Amazing ... Trump made the greatest and most powerful armed forces in the world look pathetic ... and as a USAF veteran, I take that personally.

I think the Military has better things to do than prepare for some ridiculous vanity parade🤣

You mean like invading California?

Yeah, something like that.

I didn't watch it. What happened?

Well... you didn't miss much. Just the sounds of about $45 million of government money going down the drain. All of that money spent... for nothing in the end. And he can't do a damn thing about it, no matter how hard he tries. What's done is done.

It’s a grotesquerie

Was probably a money laundering scheme

yeah, I could hear the tanks whimpering while going down the road

It’s perfect bsky.app/profile/taur...

Under other conditions and different times, it would be cool to see Shermans running like that. Not today, not for this.

what a total waste of $45,000,000.00. plus the $60,000,000.00 for road repair. not much bang for the buck.

They should have handed out paper bags for this flaccid display of ineptitude.

He is the USA and the USA is him. It's never been clearer. 🇺🇸💲🤡

The narration sounded like a very boring elementary school film.

The Army did not want to do Trump’s BS parade. They were strolling not marching. Obviously they know HOW to march. It was malicious compliance in action. They were trolling Trump. They actually played "Fortunate Son" over the PA system during the march. Hilarious.

Lies. If they didn’t want to be there they would not have shown up. Aren’t the military supposed to have spines?

That's not how the military works. If they are ordered to march in a parade by the commander in chief then they have to do it. A few individuals might have been able to get excused, but the units as a whole have to follow orders and go where they are told to go.

Hmm, too bad 🤘

My dad and I had a great time laughing about it today.

bsky.app/profile/amib...

The applause sounded like 5 people, lol.

The birds were louder than the crowd.

I cant help but laugh when I see him salute

It looks so lame! LOL ouch

Forget the Signal scandal, this can’t be good for Hegseth.

Hegseth will be having a bender when this is all said and done.

In a normal world, I can't see him coming back from this. I regret to inform you that we are not living in a normal world.

No kidding ! Where did America go ? 🤷‍♀️

Commander in squeak

I thought it was perfect. They showed him the respect he deserves.

The idea of it is embarrassing enough. Dictatorship bullshit to begin with, but.. dictatoddler would have a tantrum if he couldn't rip up Pennsylvania Avenue with fukkin' tanks. For the few thousands that attended. More soldiers in the parade than spectators?

It's all Biden's fault.

He was so bored and pissed he couldn't even muster up the energy to give his usual fascist propaganda speech. Had to switch to teleprompter trump.

Perhaps because the military didn't want to succumb to his whims. They wanted to celebrate their history, which I condone, he wanted a birthday party. In the proper context it was what I should've been.

Good! Suckcess!

Thankfully

What military parade...😉

Where are all those idiotic traitors that admire him so?

Bored and about to fall asleep. Totally worth the $45 - 90 million dollars huh?

Kegseth is having fun, no?

It’s way too late for them to decide which side of history they want to be on. They’ve already done that. They decided that in 2016. In a world that made sense there would be consequences for that. There won’t be.

They marched like POWs paraded before the emperor.

That's an understatement 🤣

No idea; I didn’t watch it

More people protesting in San Diego than in attendance at the tangerine twits b-day parade.
