I got your “display of small arms” right here.
Oh damn, I’m busy that day hair to wash, nails to manicure, bird bath to scrub, paint to watch dry. Do all let me know if Spanky arrives in uniform.
I imagine Trump will be sitting on a gilded throne on a dais high above the crowds, like Kim Jong-un but with more bling.

I have to assume that the word small in this proclamation is not going to make trump very happy after he saw Jets buzz the Eiffel Tower
Beat me to it. I wonder if the DAA provided money for an appropriate uniform for Trumpf.

And there’s a holiday in November each year on the 11th. It’s for something having to do with…oh, what was that? Oh yeah, HONORING VETERANS on Veterans’ Day.
If his parade has actual, mounted cuirassiers, I’ll watch.
That’s what the defense department alluded to several weeks ago.
