The president was previously forced to abandon plans for a procession in Washington, D.C., due to its colossal price tag.

      Anyone who hasn’t watched Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator really should. In the movie they mock how Mussolini was simping for Hitler and wanted to impress him by trying to one-up him at every occasion.

      This is totally what Trump is trying to do with Putin right now. Trump is a Putin simp desperate to get his attention.

          https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8?op=1

          Yes.

          Literally Hitler.

          ‘My New Order’, a collection of Hitler’s speeches up through 1939.

          Trump kept it in his bedside table in the 80s and 90s, according to his then wife.

          Did people not know about this or forget this?

          Trump literally routinely read Hitler’s speeches before he went to bed for years, then got very defensive when asked about it.

          Lefties who were politically active during Trump’s 2015 campaign were… fairly concerned about this, and basically everyone to the right of them just screamed ‘You’re just calling him a fascist because everything you don’t like is fascist’ at us.

          Did this whole thing seriously get memory holed this hard that you genuinely didn’t know this?

          Or are you just younger and/or weren’t so politically involved a decade ago?

          I know you’re being facetious and asking this from their side, but from our non-Nazi side I highly recommend “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by Shirer which is a great telling of how Hitler rise to power and a study of him and his crew. I’m sure Trump types read these histories to learn and try to pick up where Hitler failed.

            My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

            He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

            He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

            I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

                Pretty much the exact same except that Hitler was a hardened war veteran, and Trump has been a conman all his life. Most of Trump’s cons were stupid and failed, but never quite hard enough for him to ever see consequences.

                Hitler also went to prison for his coup attempt. It was a daycare style prison, but he still went.

                Other than that, the similarities are striking. Likely because the only book that Trump in known to have read, is a copy of all of Hitler’s speeches.

    Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.

      When there is video footage of the parade, someone needs to make a video clip that is compiled from several clips from the US, North Korean and Russian military parades and put “Entry of The Gladiators” as the background music.
