This article is not as much about your illegitimate president as it is about our corrupt and wasteful politicians; and this includes the military brass in the Pentagon.

Trump has announced that he is desperately in need of a military parade to honor and soothe his very fragile ego. This ‘Russia thing’ is making him angry and insecure. Add to that fact increased pressure from many individuals who believe that the president should be held to the same standards under the law as any other citizen, and he is most certainly having difficulty completing his third cheeseburger while he watches Fox Noise to learn about world events. 19 women have gone on the record and accused him of sexual assault. Two other women have admitted to having affairs with Trump while he was married; both are adult film stars.

So Trump is begging for anything which will prevent him from tweeting while enraged at criticism about the fact that he has now been exposed for wearing a hairpiece. His overly large male ego has been damaged. A parade down Pennsylvania Avenue is just ‘what the psychiatrist ordered.’ Watching all those huge tanks, and missiles which are large phallic symbols, moving past the dais, just like his mentor, Vladimir Putin, glorifying the fact that he is the ‘Commander-in-Chief, will make him feel better.

Trump is not concerned that such a parade is unnecessary and will cost taxpayers and the city of Washington D.C. tens-of-millions of dollars. He is desperate.

If Republicans and the Pentagon allow such a debacle, they must be removed from their lives of luxury and privilege. This makes absolutely no sense, and cannot happen.

Republicans gladly give funding to the Pentagon which wastes at least 50 percent of its annual allotment. They are also gifting major corporations, 585 billionaires, including Donald Trump, and 10.7 million millionaires with additional tax cuts, while planning to reduce social services. They are perfectly content to allow the number of Americans living in the low income level to grow, and therefore increase the numbers of our brothers and sisters who live in poverty; the number is nearly 50 million today.

If they allow Trump his ego-boosting parade, they must be punished.

Let’s send Republicans back home; they don’t deserve your vote. November 6^th is coming soon.
