17. I could have done a parade for 90% less.

Get a few companies worth of “troops” on Craig’s list and a half dozen “tanks” from Tractor Supply. Have them run around behind the reviewing stand after each pass and form up for another.

A Potemkin parade for a Potemkin President.

This is not a new idea, by the way. I believe Patton did it at least twice.
