Donald Trump’s military parade on the Fourth of July is not exactly going over well with Russian state media. As the president’s changes to the normally apolitical Fourth of July celebration in Washington, D.C., have come under fire from critics at home, the anchors from the state-run Russia-1 television station also seemed to revel in mocking Trump for the show of force. Igor Korotchenko, the Russian Defense Ministry’s Public Council member, was particularly harsh in attacking Trump. As American journalist Julia Davis shared on Twitter, Korotchenko said in a segment on the Fourth of July that Trump “has an inferiority complex” and others noted that he appears to be trying to emulate other strong nations like Russia and China with the military parade. The Russian state media continued to mock the coverage that Fox News was giving the parade. As Newsweek noted, the hosts of the Russian news equivalent of 60 Minutes then bragged that, “Crimea is ours, Trump is ours.”

Russia's state TV panel on 60 Minuts laughed at the excitement of FoxNews anchors gushing about Trump's parade: "Two tanks is all they've got! Their paint is peeling, their uniforms are wrinkled! Trump should have asked our Defense Ministry to teach them how to organize military parades. Trump has an inferiority complex" re: Russia." Donald Trump has taken plenty of criticism at home for the changes he made to the Fourth of July celebration in the nation’s capital. Critics said that the celebration has a long tradition of being free of politics, but they expressed worry that would be lost after Trump announced the changes to the event that included a military parade and a speech he plans to deliver. The White House said that the speech would not be political. Critics said they event resembles a campaign event for Donald Trump, right down to the Republican National Committee being in charge of tickets for a VIP-only area.

The Russians had some good lulz at Trumps expense, especially over the tanks with peeling paint and rusty tracks. I think the Russians sense a change in 2020.

Trump had fencing placed across the Reflecting Pool. Wouldn't want the unwashed masses getting too close to the VIP donor section.
Your tax dollars are working hard to guard the RNC's big donors against having to rub elbows with germy second-class citizens like you.

I guess (like the Russians) you didn't watch the actual parade if you believe this "report" had anything to do with the reality of the event.

The only military units I saw in the parade were platoon-sized elements of the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard (in that order) leading the parade. I guess you could count the Red-Coated band that followed them. No tanks, or other military equipment.

The military vehicles consisted of a couple of APC's and Tanks as stationary exhibits set up around the Lincoln Memorial that people could come up and see, and small elements of the various Services did a short fly-over during Trump's speech lauding those forces.

Soooo, what was there for both you and them to mock about; perhaps the fact that there wasn't a "military" parade? :coffeepap:

I'm not into parades and really don't care what Trump did, what Obama did, what G.W. did, what Bill Clinton did and on back. For me the 4th was mowing the grass, watching a couple of movies and the Braves game. Then the fireworks display from my backyard. Politics didn't enter the fray.

I suppose the bottom line is that what any president does or doesn't do on any holiday, it won't ruin my holiday as I totally ignore them.

It's interesting to how someone in a position of power can make randomized, uninformed decisions without thinking through the consequences, and his or her (but, let's face it: mostly 'his') supporters will select the minority of the random consequences that just so happen to turn out well and use that to interpret the decision as the result of far-thinking genius, conveniently ignoring the larger majority of the consequences that turn out badly for everyone involved. This kind of thing happens all the time in cults, but it also happens just as much in politics and the business world. Particularly in large companies with founders and CEOs who have near celebrity status. I'm sure there's a word for this.

Do you think the Russians are reading the mockery of a sitting potus and the very people who made and make this mockery possible? I wonder if the Russians are a tad jealous of that fact.
