Trump parade turns into DISASTER as NO ONE SHOWS - Meidas Touch



Jun 14, 2025
MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump’s parade becoming a massive disaster as no one showed and Donald Trump was inconsolable and almost cried because it was so embarrassing and boring.

Around 9 minutes in, Ben Meiselas contrasts the sparsely attended military parade with the No Kings rallies with pictures.

Response:

Nah!

No dancing girls, free beer and skittles? Count me out!

Joking! Trump is a dumb chump, not going!

Result: King EgoMan is having a sad!

Some of the video calls out for a screen grab and a meme compete with thought balloons!

Badly planned though, really needed some paid attendees, and lots of rounded up migrant workers rewarded with a get out of jail free card.

It's a boring history lesson with no cheering. He will never mention this, count on it.

I expected to see kids, at least, little boyslove to see lgigantic, loud, smoking machinery roll past. If they were there, they were in another part of town, far from the reviewing stand. I sure didn't se any of them in attendance, just a fat, grumpy old man who looked like he wanted to go inside where it was cool and dry and eat a burger while watching some Pox News.

between Trump's failed dictator parade and the thousands MILLIONS who showed up in cities ACROSS THE NATION for PEACEFUL "NO KINGS" protests.

Great comeuppance for this embarrassed paper tiger.

PAPER TIGER: a person or thing that appears threatening but is ineffectual.
