    Trump has an extra bonus detail which is he co-opted a planned anniversary parade and made it about himself. He stole the attention from the people who had planned their own celebration back when he wasn’t even in office.

    He went to someone else’s birthday party and made it about his birthday just because they shared the same date.

          Which is part of why he’s butthurt it had eras of military technology instead of the classic dictatorship parade of “we moved all of our functional armor here so the oppressed citizens are more fearful about who is oppressing them”

            Yeah, “The soldiers were all smiling and waving at the crowd! They were supposed to look fierce and intimidating!”

              Yeah and even better that most of them basically ignored him at the end of the parade. None of them want to be a dictator’s servant
