I didn't realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that's fucking glorious
Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
This pic is cropped so you can't see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn't see over.
Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.
Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.
He looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.
There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable
It's not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor's note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn't or the other way around. He's just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though
And the icing on the cake is that while in a cemetery of vets, called them "losers" and "suckers" according to General Kelly.

Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?
Local cover band even.
I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.

I knew it was too good to be true, but it's still funny AF.

Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
Well now I see it, oh well I'll leave the comment up to be mocked
No mockery needed, it's still very valid
Even so, he's known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn't there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?

I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.

My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School's marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.
Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.

This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.

What a fucking loser.
This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don't read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.

Pathetic.
Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don't give a flying fuck about drumpf's lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it's literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice
Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.
This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.
Doesn't matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.
All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it's 250k
My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put 'huge' in the title of their article about it.
Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?
OK I had to look it up but the joke is "86" as in "get rid of" and 47, that is, Trump
Aaaahhh, I totally missed that. The comma threw me off thinking it was a real number.
Didn't some Fox blithering idiots interpret that as a death threat or something a few weeks ago?
They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.

Well never get the real numbers. Im sure at least half weren't there willingly.
To spell it out for y'all, it's a joke number.
86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.
47 is the trump president number.

It's worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.
Is that a WW2 tank?
Yes. The thing was to showcase 250 years of American Army, not modern shit.
