Can the Mayor of Washington, DC deny him a parade permit? Would be a nice civics lesson to wannabe Dear Leader.#KimJTrump

Talk about a half-baked (1/4 baked?) vanity dream!

(23,362 posts)Maybe Macy's can underwrite the cost of the parade. Get some military-academy-high-school bands and some Las Vegas chorus lines and the president should be entertained.
As long as they salute him, bow down to him, as they pass his very presidential (you wouldn't believe how presidential it will be) reviewing stand.
