Trump's quest for a military parade, inspired by a 2017 French spectacle, finally came to fruition despite initial opposition from military leaders. With a reshaped military command favoring allies over qualified personnel, Trump directed a lavish display complete with troops, equipment, and corporate sponsorships. However, the event turned out to be underwhelming, marred by disorganized performances and a lackluster crowd amid sweltering heat, demonstrating the discord between Trump’s ego-driven desires and the reality of public reception.
The military parade, initially rejected by Trump’s own advisers, is a monument to the persistence of ego over decorum, showcasing how unchecked power leads to hollow spectacles.
With an entourage solely of sycophants in key military positions, Trump was granted his long-desired parade, though it fell flat in engagement and excitement.
