AFP / Christophe Archambault Washington: President Donald Trump's dream of hosting a military parade in Washington was met with almost universal derision Wednesday, with critics seeing evidence of creeping authoritarianism.
President Trump is reportedly going forward with his desire to roll troops, tanks, and other military hardware down Pennsylvania Avenue, but don't look for the city that would have to host his fantasized-about military parade. The DC government, which would presumably be a stakeholder in the planning and execution of any such event, says it will not bear the cost of staging it.

President Trump has expressed a desire for a massive military parade showcasing America's strength since before he even took office.
Rep. Jackie Speier, a Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee, said Americans "should be offended" by President Trump's "need to always be showy." Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., said Tuesday President Trump was "truly Napoleon-like" after it was revealed the administration was brainstorming ideas for a military parade in Washington, D.C.
