I'm a little baffled by Trump's Nazi-style birthday tank parade. Trump was a draft dodger. Only instead of fleeing to Canada with the other wasters, his slumlord dad got a tenant doctor to give him a medical exemption. Though whatever was supposed to be wrong didn't interfere with Trump's sporting activities on campus and he's pretty hazy about it. Also, during his last term as US president I got the impression that he thought people draft enough to be in military uniform were mugs. So, why the birthday tank parade? I know, I know, it was officially it was for the 250th birthday of the US Army. But it's had plenty birthdays without a parade. Perhaps Trump wanted to be one up on his family back in Germany, who know a lot about Nazi parades but have never had one in their honour. At least he didn't insist on wearing a uniform. Maybe next time. And will his pal Elon Musk, he of the Nazi salute, also have a parade? I'm sure he can afford to hire some tanks and maybe Trump will let him hire Washington's main drag for the venue.
