The company you keep

So: Fresh from complaining that people who don’t applaud his clumsy banalities are traitors, The Donald intends that the Good Ol’ U.S.. of A. should have a smart and spiffy military parade to rouse the unenthused (or, is that frighten the unenthused?).

Just like North Korea.

And the Nazis.

And the Russians.

Franco enjoyed a good parade, too.

And Mussolin’s fascists.

It’s one thing to welcome the troops home following an important military victory, and it is quite another to simply make a show of military strength; the former is an expression of respect and gratitude, and the latter is a public threat. Trump, who means to advertise the size of his button, is making a threat — and sane Americans should refuse to applaud.
