Might be finally getting his own Putin style military parade on his birthday…

Washington City Paper is reporting that according to a D.C. source with the early details of the plan President Shitshow might finally get his own military parade…
According to a D.C. source with knowledge of the plan that’s still being developed, Trump has commandeered Saturday, June 14—the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and, as it happens, Trump’s 79th birthday—for his military parade. It would stretch almost four miles from the Pentagon in Arlington to the White House, according to the source, who stressed that local officials are just learning of it.
Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis, who describes Arlington as a “9/11 city” that is proud of being home to the Pentagon, tells City Paper that no formal request for assistance has been made to the county. Karantonis says the county was given a “heads up” about the parade on Friday by the White House, but with no firm details.
“It’s not clear to me what the scope of a parade would be,” Karantonis says. “But I would hope the federal government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous [military] veteran residents who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army’s anniversary.”

Dictator gonna dictator…
“Liberation Day” fallout continues…
Wednesday, President Shitshow announced to the world tariffs. He calls them “reciprocal” tariffs, but we all know that’s bullshit, so, we aren’t calling them that.
These are just tariffs, he’s obsessed with tariffs…
Thursday the stock market was down.
Friday the stock market was down.
Monday the stock market opened down…
There was a rally; I’m not sure how long it lasted…
It dropped again…
Thanks to Lenny Ghoul, I was able to determine why the rally…
All because people are stupid.
On Sunday…
CEO billionaire Bill Ackman took to Twitter to write a damn novel regarding tariffs.
The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.
And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.
But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.
[emphasis mine] The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.
If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.
What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?
I don’t know of one who will do so.
When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.
And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.
Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.
The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.
Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.
May cooler heads prevail.

Economic idiot and President Shitshow cult member Kevin Hasshett (Asshat as I like to call him) was asked if the “President” was considering a 90-day pause on Fox and Friends…
KILMEADE: Would Trump consider a 90 days pause in tariffs?

HASSETT: I think the president is gonna decide what the president is gonna decide … even if you think there will be some negative effect from the trade side, that's still a small share of GDP pic.twitter.com/3KymvgOwQG
The clip happened about an hour before the market opened. (that’s 8:30 AM D.C., time).
He sort of appears to say “yep” but I am not 100 percent sure, he was replying to the question itself.
It was 10:38 AM D.C, time when the President Shitshow’s “rapid response” team basically said “nope” in response to the rumor of a 90-day pause on the shitty tariff policy.
Wrong. Not only did Director Hassett not say this (clip below), @POTUS has been clear — "it all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!" https://t.co/3Kvt8AScAZ pic.twitter.com/JHucHjZm3S

Not to be left out of the Shitshow confusion President Shitshow posted this via “Lies Social”…
It’s a video from his favorite Fox Business cult member Maria Bartiromo saying “President Trump is not going to bend”…
Maria Bartiromo says rates and oil prices are falling, and deregulation is underway. She notes Trump told her he won’t bend—his goal is to build an independent U.S. economy, reducing reliance on China for essentials like prescription drugs. pic.twitter.com/MnySypelyE

Needless to say the markets are reacting like a…
Thirty minutes before post time this is where we stand…
He’s announced more tariffs on China.
Here are his per-market posts regarding tariffs…
FYI for those cheering on “drill baby drill” when oil prices are down, so is drilling, and jobs.
I looked up PANICAN and discovered it’s part of a band’s name.
Panican Whyasker topic on YouTube says; Panican Whyasker is a Bulgarian four-piece rock and roll band formed in the end of 1998 by Dimitar Vasilev-Nufri and Deyan Dragiev-Dakata. Its early years the band spent experimenting with a large range of genres from instrumental drum’n’bass to crossover. After three full-length albums, numerous gigs, several side projects and somewhat of a hiatus, the band is currently writing their fourth full-length album – a comeback to their rock’n’roll roots.
I can’t stress enough how fucking not normal it is, that any President of the United States, makes up a word, to call people weak and stupid.
Looking forward to seeing the Dodgers…
Meanwhile back at the home…
