President Donald Trump has cancelled his long-desired military parade due to the  projected expense, and will attend a parade in Paris celebrating the end of World War I instead.

He got the idea for the parade from France in the first place, when he attended a Bastille Day celebration with French President Emmanuel Macron.

  2. So…this will be after insulting France :fr: over and over by telling crowds of sheeple about ‘his friend Jim’ who no longer ‘loves’ Paris.

    Ten bucks says he doesn’t know which “War” the French are commemorating. “It was a big war – an amazing war – but nothing like what we can do now. Some people call it a Great War – not many people know that. But our wars would be much greater now, because I know more than the generals do.”

  4. Going to the parade in Freedom-Fries-France?

    Why does he hate Murica?

  5. Not sure I can handle the ten bucks but it’s a bet I’d love to lose.
