Millions of tax dollars wasted on an absolute flop of a paradeÂ

I’d wager most of his supporters can’t afford to go visit DC anyway

You’re honestly telling me this dude actually won the election? Look at his his parade and our protests. Look at his last inauguration. Look at his rallies compared to Harris in the month leading up to the election.

I’m have to have contributed those empty seats by reserving an entry ticket for myself (as anti-Trump as it gets and my MAGA father who had no chance of being there) and then not going. Encouraged every single one of my friends and non-MAGA family members to do the same.

The clip of the birthday boy so upset after realising that barely anyone has turned up to his wannabe dictator parade is the icing on the cake 🤣

How much do we think he had to pay Melania to show up in public with him?

What a fucking waste, eh?

You know they’ll post pictures of the protests and claim it was crowds for the parade.

Trump wants to have more military parades, yet kicks VETs off the streets. He send his goons to clear the area in front of Trump Tower to avoid seeing our veterans. What’s going with VA? More cuts. So what’s the point of the military parades when he doesn’t respect the people.

Hey Trump. We know you had the election rigged. It will never change that no one likes you, even your daughter you pine for.

Don’t forget that Trump’s team hired people to attend.

What an embarrassment after 5 months of L’s. Bro should resign in shame.

The “No Kings” protests surpassed the number needed for the “3.5% rule”. If 3.5% of the population participates in non-violent protest, significant political change will occur. The protests exceeded the rule by one million, with over 11 million participating.

The video of the empty stands and the squeaky tank is priceless
Man I really expected they could get MAGA supporters at least one row deep along the route to cheer and wave flags as the troops went by but the few moments that I’ve glanced at (because I really don’t want to watch our Service Members being treated like toy soldiers)….the sidewalks are EMPTY it’s crazy how few people that there actually are.
And I am super pleased that protesters correctly recognized that this was not the time or place to protest, to let it play out as the embarrassment that it was.
The Alt National Park on Bluesky which has been quite good with information is saying early projections of the National protest turnout is over 11 million. Over a million in Boston alone.

You know, I was originally going to avoid any and all things related to the parade, but once I realized what a colossal failure it turned out to be I forgot all about that. I haven’t been this fucking happy in *months*!

Maybe it’s time that ICE wears identifiable badges and are not allowed to wear masks. This situation will get worse if the common citizen cannot determine if this is a legitimate law enforcement agent or an imposter. Very sad, very scary. The continued use of masks will end in accidental bloodshed.

I’m so hoping that this is the moment when the tide finally turns. The hypocrisy of this man speaking about the U.S. military when he’s done nothing but insult and disrespect veterans and their families is just nauseating.

Congratulations to everyone who showed up to protest!
We just gave Trump the biggest F**K YOU!!

I don’t know how you look at the picture of Trump and his thugs on the stage and not see parallels to fascists throughout history. He’s doing what nearly every dictatorship and evil regime does. They try to peacock their military to try and threaten the rest of the world. He wants us to be like North Korea, China and Russia. He wants this to be a regular thing to threaten Americans as well as other countries. It’s disgusting.
Also the picture on stage is ominous because it shows a wannabe dictator trying to act strong. But the other picture of him and his mail order bride reminds me of the end of Fight Club. They’re side by side watching the country burn.

Magafest was a flop?
More people attended the protests than Trump’s absurd waste of tax dollars.
Sad that we don’t get to celebrate the men and women in the armed forces. Trump had to make it all about himself
Well, thats 500 million wasted. At least it didnt successfully fund a shameless self promotion of a dictator wanna be.
Good job America! Massive protests and the parade was a hilarious flop, I’ve seen more interest and enthusiasm given to an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
See the sad parade here https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/0QcsWT9C1F
Sorry to the Army they had to go through that on their birthday. It’s thankless duty sometimes.
The National Mall actually looked less crowded than usual for a Saturday afternoon in June.
All that so he could fall asleep in his chair in front of dozens of his fans.
Anyone else get the sense that Republicans looked awful today?
The abysmal military parade.
Desantis encouraging drivers to run over protesters.
A sheriff stating they will kill protesters.
The assassination of Democrat reps.
This against the energetic protests that took place in thousands of places.
If they had any sense of shame, Republicans would be embarassed from today’s events.
What a great article! Tries to imply the parade only had empty seats because of the weather, then says how ‘thousands’ were protesting across America.
Yeah, it wasn’t cause of the weather (at least not *just* cause of that), and there were a lot more than just a few ‘thousands’ marching today.
Just another ‘news’ network full of cowards.
“Empty crowd at Trump’s birthday parade. All you hear is the squeaking tanks”
