Trump 'Reamed Out' Hegseth for Flop Birthday Parade

Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast that Trump wanted a "menacing" show of force to celebrate the Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday on Saturday -- but got a "festive" parade instead. "He's pissed off at the soldiers," [biographer Michael] Wolff said. "He's accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face."

You mean they didn't tow ICBMs down the street like the Russians do? Or China? Or North Korea?

That one guy with the drone looked pretty menacing. LOL.

A bandmate/friend and I once spent the night in a Seoul ROK commander's checkpoint shack when we found ourselves out after the midnight curfew imposed under marshal law. We watched an incredible parade of missile launchers and other large military gear pass by until the early morning lifting of the curfew for the day. It was better than Trump's parade!!

Trump 'Reamed Out' Hegseth

Did Trump use his tongue? Like he does with an anonymous, thieving, bald midget in Moscow?

How dare those soldiers have a good time in a parade celebrating the Army's anniversary. Everyone knows parade's are supposed to be intimidating and depressing.

From what I watched, I was glad to see the casual format.

We're not Soviets or Nazis.

...Right?

OK, let me ask ...

Soldiers waving to and smiling at the American citizens they serve is a bad thing, according to Pres Trump?

I have other questions, but, I'll start there for now.

Soldiers waving to and smiling at the American citizens they serve is a bad thing, according to Pres Trump?

Lewzer's "Minions of Doom" were supposed to appear menacing, which they did not. And they were supposed to salute him, which they did not.

@#13 ... Lewzer's "Minions of Doom" were supposed to appear menacing, which they did not. ...

I agree.

But, then that does beg the question ...

Why might Pres Trump have wanted those troops to appear menacing, instead of the apparent "proud to serve you" feeling they presented?

Because, among other things, he's just an -------.

@#15 ... Because, among other things, he's just an -------. ...

Shame on you for putting such an accurate description upon the President of the United States.

Pres Trump should be honored, most highly, for what he has accomplished.

And what has he accomplished?

OK, wow, I may have spoken too soon ...

Sounds like something from Sesame Street. It's an instrumental, so no lyrics in sight.

But, then Cornershop brings to the forefront another tune ...

From the morning, past the evening
Till the end of the light

Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the forty-five

Wow, that official video sucks, imo.

The parade exuded a decided ROTC circa 1970 vibe.
Good on ye.
Lol.

I just watched a drone video that proved once

again that "you people" are leftist stooges.

it never once mentioned size but to say it was a flop

is just another f/g lie from f/g liars.

#26. Funny. Do you remember the naked painting of Trump? Tiny AF. Yeah, it was an artist who didn't see the actual package, but it was hilarious nonetheless. Yeah, even that rendition made him look hung compared to Twoothy in real life. Just ask his ex.
