Donald slouched, Melania napped, Rubio yawned, as Trump’s failed military parade goes on by
You’d have to be blind drunk to think Donald Trump’s pitiful excuse for a military parade in Washington, D.C., on Saturday was anything but a flop. And in at least one case, someone reportedly was blind drunk and praising it.
Fox News guest Rebekah Koffler slurred her way through a segment about how majestic and inspiring the parade was. According to The Daily Beast, she’d hit the sauce before praising the "spectacle." At least her champagne goggles were working overtime. The rest of us, if we even dared to watch any of it, had to see the sad reality soberly.
There were more empty folding chairs than human beings. Rolling Stone rightly called it “a sleepy birthday bash,” and The Mirror noted there were just a few thousand, when the White House laughingly claimed there were over 250,000.
I can assure you that as I flipped from CNN, to Fox, to MSNBC for tidbits about the parade, my 20/20 vision didn’t see anything remotely close to 10,000, let alone 250,000. For someone obsessed with crowd size, this had to sting.

Opinion: For someone obsessed with crowd size, the joke of a parade had to sting, writes John Casey.
