President Donald Trump’s weekend parade was not the event many expected – critics such as conservative lawyer George Conway couldn’t help laughing at him.
As millions gathered at anti-Trump protests across the country, the president’s $45 million parade on the 250th anniversary of the Army and his own birthday marks a low turnout or even lower energy.
As the day drags on, Trump himself seems bored at times.
Conway said Trump hopes to see the kind of wonder in North Korea under the leadership of dictator Kim Jong Un, and then provides a tweak for the president: Kim Jong Loon.
He wrote:
Other Trump critics also compared the incident to the type commonly seen in places like North Korea, which former secretary of state and 2016 campaign rival Hillary Clinton called it a “low-energy dear leader parade.”
The day before the march, California Governor Gavin Newsom also made a North Korean comparison:
And Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) not only compared the march to ones favored by dictators like Kim, but also used it as an opportunity to introduce legislation to prevent future displays.
