Perhaps it should not be surprising that Donald Trump, the misguided leader of the free world, has directed the U.S. Department of Defense to organize a large Bastille Day-type military parade. The parade would be complete with missiles, tanks, heavy weapons, troops, bands and flags — similar to those staged in Russia, North Korean or banana-republic dictatorships. It’s projected to cost millions of dollars.
Trump’s request came after viewing France’s Bastille Day parade, having already expressed admiration for other military parades.
