Trump says tanks will be part of his July Fourth celebration

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump isn’t taking “no tanks” for an answer on the Fourth of July.

He said Monday that a display of U.S. military tanks will be part of a special event he’s headlining July 4 in Washington, and an Associated Press photographer saw at least two M1A1 Abrams tanks and two Bradley Fighting Vehicles on flatcars in a railyard at the southeastern edge of Washington.

Military police were guarding the vehicles, which were visible to passers-by on nearby paths.

A U.S. official told the AP that the military vehicles to be used in the July 4 event were being stored at the railyard.

1. And how much is this gonna cost?

But they can't get enough food, running water, and blankets to the locked up children?

10. More like...

Surprisingly, this is the only photo I could find of Jethro Bodine riding in the tank Uncle Jed bought him when he was trying to enlist in the Army. I can't believe nobody has GIFed him riding down the streets of Beverly Hills in his tank, saluting everyone.

12. Couldn't find a GIF or clip, but. ...

perhaps someone with some talent could extract/convert one from this:

3. Vainglorious abuse of our military to feed his petty ego

So dumb.

[Corgigal]

4. So many active duty people

would have preferred to have the day off and celebrate with family and friends.

But No, they have to entertain a man/child instead and Trump couldn't give one damn.

5. Non-moving tanks on display in the National Mall. Like at a museum or park.

An expensive boring unnecessary display...but, hey, Trump probably needs to fill the space with something other than dwindling adoring fans and sparse wealthy donors that want to hang around in the heat with possible rain.

Fireworks happen at night. No one will be looking at the fucking tanks then.

6. I thought tRump said they'd be beautiful, new tanks.

Looking at this photo of the tank, it does not appear new. It looks pretty well used, including an obvious oil stain and faded paint. Better get busy “sprucing ‘Er up”, guys. Maybe a few touches of gold paint would make tRump happy?

7. Tanks are outdated slow moving death traps.

A perfect symbol for this administration

11. America is investing in a lot of Maginot devices while Russia is hacking everything

8. That tank is ugly.

Looks more like an eyesore to me. I am betting that Trump had no idea what these tanks looked like. He must be thinking that the tanks would look like something out of a Hollywood movie.

He played himself!

9. So the yellow-bellied, bone-spurred, coward who couldn't serve his country...

wants to pretend he's GI Joe. Give him a test to see if he knows how to get that bloated, ugly body into a tank. That chicken shit has no business using our taxpayer money for his small, mushroom-penis complex he has.

13. Trump is a tankwipe

n/t

14. Please let them be manned by patriotic types

Trojan Horse style.
