So, according to Trump after he’s told that number, “millions and millions and millions, a parade like you’ve never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I’d say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must’ve had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade”.
All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡
To spell it out for y’all, it’s a joke number.
86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.
47 is the trump president number.
Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump’s show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.
It’s worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.
Jesus. That’s way lower than the generous estimate I considered credible enough from /r/theydidthemath yesterday.
This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don’t read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.
Ok that makes this way funnier
Lol I don’t analyze every number I see and… like… scan my brain’s data storage for 30 seconds to see if it match anything.
I’m sure I’ve also seen some news articles you haven’t, its kinda hard to keep up with literally every single piece of news, especially something as inconsequential as that.
Hell, I had never even heard of the term 86 before today, and I know I’m not the only one in the comments that hadn’t.
The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.
i expected more gullible shitlipped cult sheeple
Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.
I didn’t realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that’s fucking glorious
Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?
Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
Who’s he saluting? You didn’t serve donny, now sit down
Maybe there’s a North Korean general across the street?
You could be right but I thought he assumed other positions for dictators. You know, down on all fours like a dog ready to “accept” the supreme leader
Like it or not, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Literally the highest ranking officer in the military.
What presidents post WW2 did serve?
what president post WW2 pretend they did?
I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.
It was the Army’s way of protesting this shit too.
Yeah they were just kinda shuffling along.
This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.
Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.
Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.
He looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.
Oh was that the moment they played ‘fortunate son’?
He was born on 3rd and thinks he hit a triple.
There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable
The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.
Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.
Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.
Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.
It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though
Yup. Like an overly enthusiastic little boy trying to make his parents happy.
Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?
Local cover band even.
I knew it was too good to be true, but it’s still funny AF.
Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
Well now I see it, oh well I’ll leave the comment up to be mocked
No mockery needed, it’s still very valid
Even so, he’s known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn’t there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?
I wonder, are the empty seats photoshopped though?
Yes.
That was my first thought.
I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.
This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.Pathetic.
Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don’t give a flying fuck about drumpf’s lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it’s literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice
Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.
My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School’s marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.
Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.
8647
This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.
8472
86 - 47 <- not random
. . . Star Trek?
Our Pensacola Mardi Gras parades stomps whatever that pathetic show was.
My initial reaction was embarrassment for Trump.
Trump would tell us that your parade’s attendance is about 500 losers, his parade had well over 200,000 very fine people.
What a fucking loser.
All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it’s 250k
My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put ‘huge’ in the title of their article about it.
Bro, the protest in fucking wichita had ~5k
That is saaad
8647 what a funny number
Does Wichita even have 5k
(Which Wichita? lol,)
Kansas, and shockingly yes
400k (half of SF) interesting!
Doesn’t matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.
