Donald Trump was unhappy with his sparsely attended military parade over the weekend and blamed it on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, biographer Michael Wolff revealed.
Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast that Trump wanted a “menacing” show of force to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday on Saturday—but got a “festive” parade instead.
“He’s p—ed off at the soldiers,” Wolff said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”
If he didn’t want soldiers that were excited to be there, then why did he have them screened for political association to make sure they were his supporters?
Wait he did that? Wtf
In addition to screening for BMI, yes.
Did he want a high BMI or a low BMI?
And the best he could find was a bunch of middle-aged guys that looked like they were cosplaying as soldiers who have never gone through so much as aa day of basic training?
Do you have a source for this? I saw that he screened the soldiers at his fort bragg speech like this but haven’t seen reports that parade soldiers were screened similarly.
