Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned. The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army’s most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.

Trump’s Chump Seats

It’s the Pope’s funeral, so Trump’s gotta go.
It wouldn’t be like him to miss such a show.

Because of arcane Vatican protocol
Trump might find himself seated in the back row.

If you ask Donald Trump, nobody’s done more.
And as for MAGA, there’s nobody they love more.
But leave it to a Fox News panel,
Gushing on Trump’s favorite channel,
To float the “epic” idea of adding his face to Mount Rushmore.

He’s been convicted of crimes and libel,
And he seems to think of God as his equal or rival.
For when pledging his troth
During the presidential oath,
Donald Trump didn’t lay his hand on the Bible.

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“When American service members killed in action are returning to the United States in flagged-draped coffins, and even more Americans have lost limbs or suffered terrible brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this White House treats war like a game, and it’s a disgrace.”

— Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), on X.

“In the past, propaganda served the purposes of war; now war serves the purposes of propaganda.”

— John Ganz

“The Straits are in great shape!”

— President Trump, speaking to reporters.
