Trump was apparently so impressed by the military parade he was invited to watch in France on Bastille Day that he’s contemplating following in the footsteps of the French, and a handful of rogue dictators in third-world countries, with a U.S. military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. on July 4th.
As Trump pointed out during a press conference with Emmanuel Macron at the United Nations earlier, the event would offer an opportunity for America to reveal its “military strength” to the world. Luckily, Trump went on to reassure Macron that such an event shouldn’t concern him because “we’re friends.”
“And, to a large extent because of what I witnessed, we may do something like that on July 4th in Washington down Pennsylvania Avenue.”
“But I came back [from France] and one of my early calls was I think we’re going to have to start looking at that ourselves. So, we’re actually thinking about 4th of July, Pennsylvania Avenue, having a really great parade to show our military strength.”
“You know, we’re spending this year $700 billion more than we’ve ever spent on the military, which is a good thing for you because we’re friends.”

Of course, we don’t know exactly what the Trump administration has in mind at this point but we suspect it will look something like this.
