It wasn&#8217;t their fault that Trump tried to feed his ego by forcing them to perform as pawns in his partisan political pageant. And it wasn&#8217;t their fault that he organized it so poorly. However, they unfairly suffered from the fallout of his ignorance and incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>One particularly disturbing consequence of Trump&#8217;s antics was that his good buddy, Vladimir Putin, was able to take advantage of his folly to the detriment of the troops and America&#8217;s dignity. The Russian media quickly filled with images of Trump&#8217;s birthday bash in a decidedly negative light&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lro2jotdn22x\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiewa5kexsqpy35dv4pyluxi5ldw2okrkcaauvsuzxqfewi76akebi\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Russia is trolling Trump&#39;s vanity birthday parade.

And they did it with an emphasis on how pathetically Trump attempted to emulate the sort of military spectacle that Russia specializes in. While Trump has long craved to produce a similar affair, he didn&#8217;t bother to insure that he could pull it off.<\/p>\n<p>The result is that Trump has embarrassed America in the eyes of the world. Not that Trump will ever see it that way. Because his only reviews of the event will come from his own toadies or those on Fox News. Speaking of which, the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends are already on the job. Co-host Lawrence Jones <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/tv\/fox-host-says-nations-enemies-are-watching-trumps-parade-does-it-put-fear-in-their-hearts\/\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed<\/a><\/strong> Trump&#8217;s former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and asked him whether Trump <em>&#8220;put fear in the hearts.&#8221;<\/em> of America&#8217;s adversaries who watched this parade&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Jones:<\/strong> What does this say to our enemies as well? Because they\u2019re watching. They\u2019re always watching. Does it put fear in their hearts knowing that this is a president that is willing to rebuild the military, right?<br \/>\n<strong>Wolf:<\/strong> Yeah, no doubt. [&#8230;] I think our adversaries around the world know President Trump means business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, no doubt. Judging from the video above, that&#8217;s exactly how Russia sees things. They are quaking with fear due to the visage of the Mango Monarch and his exhibition of extraordinary manliness. We can now expect Putin to surrender and pull his troops out of Ukraine, and pressure his allies in Iran to submit to Israel.
