"I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved. A king would say I’m not gonna get this," he said. "No, no, we're not a king, we’re not a king at all."

Literally using the royal "we" when saying he's not a king. That's something you don't see every day.

Most of the groups of soldiers barely take up a single lane on the street, a fraction of the attendance expected, what looks like single digits of each type of military vehicle, and bootlicking ABC still calls it "massive"

It's massive in that I don't know if America has had a military parade since the world wars so anything is a lot. It also somehow tens of millions of taxpayer money as they continue hypocritically spouting about government waste.

The last military parade in DC was in 1991 at the end of the Gulf War.

Where did we even find enough Shermans to drive? Did they scavenge every small town post WWII park and steal the ones that are on display across the Midwest?

Utterly pathetic. And it sounds like he's lamenting his lack of unilateral authority rather than dismissing its possibility. So, no great save there either.

"We're not a kings at all, Precious! We swears!" gollum gollum

This is hilarious and I hope the whole parade route looked like this. We had more spectators for the No Kings march in Seattle.

Even if you include the military, that's less than the protests.

the shootings, the parade to force msms to distract from all the protests going on.
