Last July 14th - Bastille Day - Trump was in Paris for the festivities. (You remember, that was the time he complimented Macron's wife on her looks). The French do parades well - military precision and costumed cavalry with plumed helmets all in line. - with the horses hooves beating on the cobble stone "Rues". Upon arrival home our leader wanted his own parade on Veterans Day, November 11th. The Military weren't fond of the idea that Sherman tanks would rip up Pennsylvania Avenue and considering the expense the idea was shelved for the moment. In a few weeks, November 11th, France is planning another parade honoring the centennial of the end of WWI in 1918. Trump says he will be meeting Putin in Paris that day but we know he is coming for the "Parade". Coming home you can expect him to reactivate Teddy Roosevelt's cavalry - the Rough Riders - so brush up your horsemanship.
