Donald Trump plans on displaying the United States military's strength when he becomes president by having troops march in parades.

“Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country,” Trump told the Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday morning. “And we’re going to show the people as we build up our military, we’re going to display our military."

"That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, we’re going to be showing our military," he continued.

Trump made the comments while talking about his campaign and its slogan, "Make America Great Again." He revealed an option for a slogan for his 2020 re-election campaign to the Washington Post.

"Are you ready?” he told the Post. “‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point.”

Trump then interrupted the interview to ask his lawyer to apply for a trademark for the phrase.

“I never thought I’d be giving [you] my expression for four years [from now],” the President-elect said when he returned to the interview. “But I am so confident that we are going to be, it is going to be so amazing. It’s the only reason I give it to you. If I was, like, ambiguous about it, if I wasn’t sure about what is going to happen — the country is going to be great.”

what to look forward to next...nationwide famine and starvation

 

[Plum]

It can't happen in America, right?

 

[ReAxion]

we're that country now.

 

[xxracerxx]

You have got to be kidding.

 

[C.Mongler]

DC's going to put together its own military if this idiot thinks we're going to agree to even more traffic just so he can wag his military spending fueled national deficit boner down Penn Ave.

 

[Meatfist]

The presidential equivalent of driving a lifted F150 around town

 

[Xando]

Someones gotta compensate for something

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Fuck you..

 

[smokeymicpot]

Shocked he didn't say this sooner.

 

[jmood88]

But economic anxiety

 

[jack_package_200]

For fuck's sake.

Hope the Rust Belt is happy about the 4th Reich

 

[B-Dubs]

Led by Lieutenant Scheisskopf I presume.

 

[MyleMan1010]

Yes, because the military members don't have anything better to do than march in parades.

 

[RPGCrazied]

We are literally turning into North Korea day by day.

 

[WedgeX]

I thought we only did this when we won a major war, Civil War, WW2, etc.

 

[Hexa]

After watching the Chinese military parade (last year I think?) I was hoping that we would start doing them too. It was pretty cool.

 

[Matty77]

Why does this remind me of some unsettling footage from the late 30's early 40's?

Oh that's right, but cannot say it because it would be ridiculous to compare him to Hitler because he hasn't caused a genocide yet, right?

 

[jimmypython]

wow......i thought such act was only for those countries with a super mentally insecure leader.

 

[Dishwalla]

lolwhat.

 

[UrokeJoe]

I cannot believe this shit.

 

[Jarmel]

This is a literal waste of money.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

We are literally turning into North Korea day by day.

Russia*

 

[UnObtainium17]

This is the kind of shit you say and do if you have a shallow understanding of pretty much most of the issues america is facing right now.

 

[Professor Lich]

Man, The Onion has gotten pretty good these past few months.

 

[brochiller]

wow......i thought such act was only for those countries with a super mentally insecure leader.

You thought right!

 

[Biske]

Yup cause thats what America needs, even more focus and jingoistic love of our military.

That's how I picture it too.

I thought we only did this when we won a major war, Civil War, WW2, etc.

But we did win a major war!

Spoiler

The war against liberals

 

[Hale-XF11]

Gross.

What a complete embarrassment. How insecure do you have to be to do so much dick waving?

 

[Somnid]

Can we give them a goofy march? That's part of the fun.

 

[Dreez]

My cynical/schadenfreude senses is tingling...

 

[Imperfected]

That's a good way to quickly build up a ton of resentment from a professional military. I was wondering when he was going to knock down the last pillar of legitimate power he had backing him.

 

[MUnited83]

wow......i thought such act was only for those countries with a super mentally insecure leader.

Well, it still is.

 

[yanipheonu]

The funny part is I don't doubt that he's entirely ignorant of the horrifying ramifications of doing this.

 

[RM8]

He's really Kim Jong Un. Except over twice as old, and hates Mexicans and science.

[Randolph Freelander]

Totally not an authoritarian, though. Give him a chance.

While you're at it, clear space on your living room wall for his picture.

 

[norinrad]

He needs to hire some North Koreans to help with the parades.

Oh Lord lol. Taking tips from Vladimir.

Omg I was reading this in a cafe and just burst out laughing!

Incredible, I can just picture it too.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

And now the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

If someone woke up from a coma and gave articles without sources chances are they would think they are onion articles.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Sounds like an expensive fucking waste of time and resources
