President Donald Trump is clinging tight to his desire to have tanks populate this year’s Fourth of July festivities on the National Mall — despite the fact that it is logistically difficult, if not impossible.
Officials should just stipulate that the tanks and Trump cannot be on the Arlington Memorial Bridge at the same time.
Why can’t he just do hummers (the vehicle kind!) with guns mounted on them and firing blanks?
Soo which Hollywood prop shop will supply the movie/TV version of tanks?
No problemo! Dig out some of these WWII inflatable goodies. 
They should go well with the baby trump balloons.
Is this why Donald called off Iran strikes?
Now some Trumpette tasked with the responsibility of making sure Trump gets his tanks will come up with the idea that since tanks can’t go over the bridges they’ll suggest ringing DC with tanks.
Let’s remember that optics are not present in Republican’s minds.
Also the super nightmare robotic destruction machines The Dotartd sees as an absolute threat to any dissent contain people who may still have human values.
The tank tracks will fuck the tarmac up .
If I thought no one would get hurt it would probably be just what this party for the President’s ego needs - to have a tank collapse a bridge. The optics of it all…
None of the young’uns on the campaign staff have googled “Dukakis tank”…
It’s worse than that. The weight crushes the infrastructure under the surface. Water pipes, gas lines, electrical conduit etc.
On the contrary, he should be in the third or fourth tank to cross the Bridge.
A noble sacrifice.
The Bridge, I mean.
So after the tanks destroy the bridges and streets we will finally get the “Infrastructure Week” kickoff we’ve been promised?
I think a formation of these tanks would be very impressive.
And fitting. It holds liquid manure.
re: Josh’s blog post – apparently VIP tickets are being given to the RNC to hand out.
Can’t someone file a lawsuit in DC to stop this — the property is controlled by the National Parks Service which is supposed to be 100% apoltical.
Trump apparently has yet to realize that DC is not friendly ground for him. If he tries to make the 4th a partisan celebration of Himself, he’s liable to see counter-protest dwarf his rally in size. As happened with the Inauguration.
A Salute To America?
more like a GOP fundraiser.
A Welcome to Gilead, perhaps?
The Opposition Party, wherever they are, probably has the standing to do something about that. But I suspect they won’t. Probably too busy trying to force AOC to apologize for saying mean things about guys in uniforms.
