MSNBC host Chris Hayes couldn't contain his laughter on air Friday while reading a fundraising email from President Donald Trump. The email asked for donations for his Saturday military parade, which, as it turns out, most Americans aren't that eager to fund.
"Donald Trump is holding a North Korean-style military parade, Soviet-style military parade through the nation's capital, something that we just don't do as a country," said Hayes. "The last one we did was after the first Persian Gulf War, which was celebrating the end of a war."
He continued, "We don't have that here. It just so happens to fall on his 79th birthday. He's even fundraising from it, if you could believe it " well, you can, of course " sending out this email with the subject line, quote, Please help me before my military parade!'"
Officers were also urged to increase apprehensions and think up tactics to "push the envelope" one email said, with staff encouraged to come up with new ways of increasing arrests and suggesting them to superiors. read more

President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday announced plans to rename Veterans Day as "Victory Day for World War I" and establish May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II."
"We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything," Trump wrote in the late night statement. "That's because we don't have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!"
The move to rename Veterans Day " established to coincide with the end date of World War II " would overwrite 87 years of precedent in recognizing Nov. 11 as a national holiday celebrating all veterans.
And now the question is, will Trump be flying the 51 star American flag, one of which can be seen across Lafayette Square, from the White House, hanging on the side of a government building
