I am right in observing that he did not get his tanks parading in the streets

He got some stationary tanks - a complete waste of taxpayers'money but not his dream which he has wanted from as far back as his inauguration.
He really thinks he's emperor.

All the attendance at the PBS-sponsored events at the capitol and virtually none for his contrived spectacle followed by pouring rain. Negative press coverage, including his rows of empty seats, for days, including devastating exposure when the true cost $$ of this debacle become available. Finally, the coup de grâce: overwhelmingly negative poll findings that show the public is disgusted.

I think we are approaching his full meltdown.

Those and a good rain storm would really wilt his wannabeass.

tanks rolling down the street. Possible career threatening pushback. They got him to back down and settle for the two stationary tanks. He got a couple Bradley's too. I'd like to know just who said and did what?
