Sparse Attendance, Confusion and Disorganization: Dismal Scenes From Trump's Military Parade [View all]
Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Armys 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the presidents birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.
50 Thirteen founder Doug Landry shared a series of tweets that documented many issues with the parade Saturday. Landry described the event as legitimately the worst executed mass attendance event Ive ever seen before sharing photos of a sparsely populated Washington Mall, the single checkpoint to which approximately 15,000 people were sent, maps that failed to offer clear direction, dozens of empty checkpoints, and empty VIP bleachers.

Those scenes were replicated by HuffPost deputy editor Phil Lewis, who shared his own photos on BlueSky.
