Excerpt from today's NY Times column by Charles Blow.
Trump told The Washington Post this week that he may start having military parades in major American cities à la North Korea: Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country. He continued: And were going to show the people as we build up our military, were going to display our military. That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, were going to be showing our military.

One can only wonder how many thousands of flags this man will fly at his latest, horrible version of a Nuremberg rally. (For those too young to know what I'm talking about, that's why god created google.)
