Donald Trump Wants to Hold a Military Parade on July 4

NEW YORK: President Donald Trump mused on Monday about holding a French-style military parade in Washington during the US July Fourth celebration.

Trump raised the idea at the start of a meeting in New York with French President Emmanuel Macron, as he gushed to Macron about the Bastille Day military parade in Paris that Trump attended in July as the French president’s guest.

“It was a tremendous day, and to a large extent because of what I witnessed, we may do something like that on July 4th in Washington down Pennsylvania Avenue,” Trump said. “We’re going to have to try to top it, but we have a lot of planes going over and a lot of military might, and it was really a beautiful thing to see, and representatives from different wars and different uniforms.”
