Trump military parade met with empty seats amid nationwide protests
Trump parade crowd size: $46 million Washington DC military parade was smaller than expected and unfolded against a backdrop of protests and political violence

His parade picture may be the whitest thing I've ever seen
I know it doesn't matter much in the end, but fuck it made me so happy to see Donald's face when he was introduced and saw the barren landscape in front of the stage. It just makes me happy knowing that he knew, undeniably, that no one showed up to his stupid birthday party.
