New York Times: Trump Envisions a Parade Showing Off American Military Might
WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Monday that he was looking into staging a display of American military might in a Fourth of July parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
In remarks during a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron of France at the United Nations, Mr. Trump said he got the idea after watching the Bastille Day parade in Paris with Mr. Macron in July. During the parade, he could be seen gesticulating and whispering to Mr. Macron at the elaborate display of tanks, soldiers on horseback and military jets flying overhead.
“I came back and one of my early calls were, I think we are going to have to start looking at that ourselves,” the president told Mr. Macron. “We are actually thinking about Fourth of July, Pennsylvania Avenue, having a really great parade to show our military strength.”

WNU Editor: I have seen my share of military parades in Moscow .... exciting at the beginning .... but now as I grow older .... a nuisance. But I will admit that I am a minority on this issue .... the mass majority of Russians love them. As for a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue .... I suspect that opinion will be the same .... most would favor such a display.
