Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

"celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military.." Fuck off. Trump doesn't give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

Sing it with me folks!

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 41 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He's just afraid, guys. And chickening out, as usual. Pass the word

Trump Always Chickens Out Trump

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 33 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If he was nicer, the Democrats could use their weather machine to give him nice weather on his birthday, but he's been a big meanie lately, so it's rain for HitlerPig's birthday.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

Maybe he ahould ask Bibi if he can have those Jewish Space Lasers burn away the mean thunder clouds.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Nah. Hold it anyway. Maybe we'll get lucky and the clown prince will catch all his karma at once in the form of a lightning bolt.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 10 hours ago

Especially if we get him to fly the ceremonial kite.

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but at the cost of long range visibility and wind, which I guess would only be a problem in certain specific circumstances.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

We live in the future.

For 3 grand you can buy a smart scope that does all the trig for you. You tell it where you want to hit. Plug in the weight, barrel length, powder charge, etc. It does the math and gives you a firing solution.

[–] Neuromorph@lemm.ee 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So the message is our military can't perform in th3 rain. Is USPS the last great government force?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

To be fair they stated they didn't want to have an audience out in lightning.

Whatever the case, calling off such festivities is what I'd like to happen anyway. His stupid birthday parade not happening would be a good outcome.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago

In his mind he's probably worried that the low turnout would be bad press for him.

You know, rather than concern for the safety of the attendees.

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

Especially since the nationwide and global protests are going to continue regardless

Aww, did he lose his magic sharpie?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 19 points 16 hours ago

Bday parade??? This is exactly the type of ego bs that dictators do. Have a quiet night in with the family you never see you psycho

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 14 points 15 hours ago

Your “god” is shaming you.

[–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemm.ee 17 points 16 hours ago

I'm in favor of sticking him out there and seeing if Zeus is ready to smite him yet.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 18 hours ago

Lol fucking loser

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Can't let his comb over go more wild in the rain. Remember, he doesn't even show up for veteran's memorial service in the rain because rain and dying for your country is for losers. What he said anyway. $48 million was spent just getting all that gear there. Could have fed starving American children by funding the program that was canceled but who needs to do that right? OH WELL! ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (/s)

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Trump and Co don't even think about feeding soldiers, let alone poor children.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Trump is a witch confirmed.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

Maybe this is misguided, but in some ways I was looking forward to seeing whatever actions had been planned in DC that day. I guess we'll see what happens. Regardless, Asheville is coming out strong for a No Kings rally.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 14 points 21 hours ago

isn't he friends with Zuckerberg? Do it in the Metaverse.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 day ago

TACO of his own parade

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

First thought: I hope it gets canceled

Second thought: go ahead and do it, and let Trump wave a flag on top of the biggest float

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago

He's the guy who looked directly at the eclipse, so yeah, he'd probably do that, too.

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 93 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where are the lasers to control the weather that Biden refused to use to save Florida?

God is angry. Trump fears being struck by lightning.

[–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemm.ee 4 points 16 hours ago

Smite! Smite! Smite! Smite!

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 156 points 1 day ago (18 children)

I'm sure it may also be due to a lack of anyone joining and the huge protests on horizon. I wonder how pissed the military would be if he does cancel.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Yeah right. Probably cancelling it because he doesn't want people to show up and ruin his dick-tator moment by protesting.

Then again Diaper Don doesn't like rain cleaning off his nasty orange makeup and getting in his rats nest.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if he's more afraid of an embarassingly small crowd more than protestors.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago

The crowd is going to be huge, it just isn't going to be supportive.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (14 children)

That is exactly it, he is visualizing all the protestors lined up along the route.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 7 points 15 hours ago

There's a good chance that there will be more protesters than supporters. That would be beautiful.
