What’s the point of having a lot of tanks if they doesn’t ever roll down Pennsylvania Avenue? According to reports, President Trump wants to plan a grand military parade in the style of France’s Bastille Day, except, presumably, an even bigger, “huge†parade. However, late-night hosts are not really fans of this idea. “That’s right Trump wants a military parade,†Seth Meyers said during his “A Closer Look†Late Night segment. “So, you’re just going full dictator now. Just dick wasn’t enough?†Meyers wasn’t done with his zingers. “Man, you had a chance to be in the military, and you dodged it,†Meyers added. “If you want to have a parade for something you yourself avoided, why not throw an IRS parade? Or a parade of personal trainers?â€
Stephen Colbert also compared Trump’s love of military displays to authoritarian leaders with his monologue. “All right, check your cards, who has Dictator Bingo?†Colbert asked holding up a fake bingo card. The Late Show host joked, “Trump’s not mad at Kim Jong-un as much as he seems to be jealous. He wants to do all the fun stuff.â€
