Military parade

I know that President Donald Trump admires dictators. On July 4, he emulated them with a military parade including tanks (July 5, “Trump Pays Tribute to Military”).

Even the military was uncomfortable with the parade. It was a charade of a Fourth of July celebration. Watch Mr. Trump. He isn’t interested in democracy; he wants to be a dictator, too.
