More from the article ...

... President Donald Trump faced criticism online Saturday after his military-themed birthday parade drew a smaller-than-expected crowd near the Washington Monument. The event, held to mark Trump's birthday and the 250th anniversary of the US military, was also met with heavy protests and bad weather.

The crowd appeared thin on the National Mall, with steady rain dampening the turnout. The parade, which reportedly cost an estimated $45 million, featured dozens of troops, tanks, and historical reenactors. However, several planned flyovers were canceled due to worsening weather conditions, while others were barely visible through thick cloud cover. The event also began 30 minutes early due to the forecast.

Netizen alleges Trump's birthday parade is TINY'

One of the Twitter user wrote, "That's not far from a busy weekend afternoon on the Mall size crowd. If you're able to throw around a football without annoying people, it's not a big crowd." ...

Pres Trump will likely blame the tiny turnout on the weather forecasts, and then use that as a justification to remove even more money frmn NOAA funding.

Yeah, I've seen those.

But my choice is to just block such ill-behaving websites.

Especially when it appears to be Mr Musk gathering information for his AI database..
