Inauspicious Inauguration
President-elect Donald Trump wanted a military parade for his inauguration today — and he’s going to get something pretty close to it instead.
“They were legit thinking Red Square/North Korea-style parade,” a source involved in planning Trump’s inauguration told The Huffington Post on Thursday. This would have included tanks and missile launchers rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue. According to the same source, the plan was shot down not only because the roads may not have supported the heavy military equipment, but because the optics would have been too reminiscent of other tyrannical regimes.
