Buttigieg slams July 4 military parade: I think it makes America 'look smaller'

White House hopeful Pete Buttigieg (D) hammered President Trump on Wednesday over his plans to have a military display during this year's July Fourth parade in Washington, DC., saying it makes America "look smaller."

"We've always been bigger than that. We've also been the kind of country that respects our military enough not to use them as props," the South Bend, Ind., mayor said on CNN. "Think about the strongest, toughest person you know. It's probably not a person who goes around talking about how strong or tough they are."

"I think the president's trying to honor himself, and, again, my worry is it ultimately makes us look smaller," he added.

Buttigieg, an Afghanistan War veteran, said the president is using the military as "ornaments for his ego or for his agenda," citing the Pentagon's deployment of troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to try to deter illegal crossings.

But Trump's trying to compensate for his small (verified by Stormy Daniels) penis.

He is taking his orders from Putin, to wreak has much havoc on our democratic experiment as possible. Putin is pissed that the USSR was dismantled.

turdface has been a total business/financial failure (losing hundreds of millions of daddy's money), and has been in debt to the tune of billions since the eighties, when he was co-opted by Putin with russian dirty money. Putin knew he had him by the balls, and started the conversion.

He has been a laundromat for dirty russian money since then, to the tune of billions. All of his, and the families, assets should be taken through RICO.

I personally believe that it was during the 2013 Miss Universe pageant the Putin first whispered into turdface's ear the notion of running for president. That was also when the pee tape was made. (I 100% believe it to be real. It is just like turdface to do something like that. And EVERYTHING else in the dossier has been confirmed. Except that.)

Hillary has always been strong, and stood up to Putin, and Putin hated her for it.

Then the straw that broke turdface's weak, sagging from fat, back... Obama's killer stand up comedy routine at the White House Press Corp Dinner, in which turdface was openly mocked... Probably the most pivotal and costly comedy routine ever performed.

So turdface, who had been Putin's kept boy for decades, with a pee tape that could be released with one word from Putin, responded to Putin's suggestion of running for president.

He didn't expect to win, but had no idea how deep into our election apparatus Putin's intelligence had gotten.

Now, knowing that he faces jail, he is turning every trick in the book to sow discord, distrust between our government agencies, ramping up everything to a point where Nancy has no choice but to start impeachment proceedings, at which point he will SCREAM the victim, milking it to the last minute...

He will try any way possible to cancel the election by pushing to the point that SOMEONE, either on his side, or our side, does something violent, at which point he will try to invoke marital law.

He may even try to start a war with Iran, invoking that we can not change leaders during a time of war...

If none of that works, and he is not re-elected, he will not accept the election as it was "rigged".

His last ditch escape will be on his own private plane to Saudi Arabia, for which Jared has made all the arrangements in advance.

He will then continue to wreak havoc from thousands of miles away, still feeding his doting deplorables red meat from afar...

Sure, this is all my conjecture... and I am sticking by it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
