Parade for Cadet Bonespurs

Why is he doing this? Possible answers are:

1. He wants to become America's first dictator. Heil Trump. Sieg Heil!
2. He wants people to think that he wants to become a dictator.
3. He has intimidated Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community and taken several swipes at the Free Press and Freedom of Speech...now he wants to demonstrate dominance over the military...ironically, he is Commander in Chief...but this is something new. He wants to debase the military with this stunt.
4. He is an impulsive and spoiled child.
5. He is pandering to his base.
6. He has no grasp of his responsibilities or the urgent priorities that require his attention and leadership.
7. He has no interest in his responsibilities or the urgent priorities that require his attention and leadership.
8. He is using the outrage of a military parade to capture the news cycle and deflect attention away from some other disgusting scandal.

But I think the real answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE.

This type of parade is expensive and the symbolism is repugnant and at odds with truly American traditions. (like loyalty to the Constitution rather than loyalty to a demagogue) 

Difference between Trmp and Hitler?  Hitler was a decorated combat veteran of WWI, not a draft dodger.

Difference between Trump and Kim Jong Un?  Kim is smarter and has better hair.
