Shep Smith: Give Trump 'little mini replicas' of tanks instead of parade

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/372831-shep-smith-give-trump-little-mini-replicas-of-tanks-instead-of-hosting-parade


Fox News host Shep Smith on Wednesday mocked President Trump’s request for a military parade, saying he could instead be given plastic replicas of military equipment.

His comments came after Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported that she’s heard from military officials that they have “more pressing and important issues on their plates, and planning a parade is not one of them.”

“He could go see the tanks at a military base if he wanted to,” Smith responded.

“Or they could give him replicas, little mini replicas. I mean, he wants to see what he has,” he added.

"You can get the little plastic ones and lay them out on the table and say ‘here you go.' "

Robin Williams film where he played the son of a toy inventor who dies and wills the company to his brother (a military general). Robin and his allies wrest control away from him after they discover that he's putting money into video games that will be played by kids (the best video game players) to actually kill enemy military without the kids realizing it's real... or something like that. At the end, they give him a toy military parade to show there are no hard feelings.

On edit: It's not taking you to the right time frame. Take it to 1 hr 35 min 24 s.

whoever, perhaps writing a tell all that exposes Faux for their ORCHESTRATED LIES being fed and brainwashing disadvantaged, gullible Americans. In the end it is Shep Smith who brings Faux down and finally exposes fake news and lies for the cancer on a society that it is. Then I woke up.
