The parade—narrator, callouts to sponsors like UFC and Oracle, rock soundtrack— make it even more of an Idiocracy state fair spectacle than I’d imagined.

Having been to several large events on the Mall in my years living in DC... that is not a big crowd. Oof. https://t.co/K32v9foZwA

Newsmax is saying about 10,000 there. That’s small for some protest rallies today and a huge waste of our military $$$ when the world is on fire… https://t.co/AP7Rh2NWu3

It’s your birthday. It’s Saturday night. But you made one critical mistake: You threw a $45 million parade for yourself without realizing you’d be bored out of your mind https://t.co/YXcGhKu7zD

Even the NYT agreed:i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

"Overall this was a pretty listless and low-energy parade and crowd. People wearing Trump paraphernalia far outnumbered those wearing Army hats and shirts from what I could see."
He added, "There were no speakers along the parade route, so spectators couldn’t hear whatever was being broadcast by the announcers closer to the reviewing stand. People are now flooding across Constitution Avenue at 18th Street to leave."
White House correspondent Shawn McCreesh also provided an update. Before Trump or JD Vance had even started to speak, the reporter wrote, "Hordes of people are streaming east across the mall to leave."
“'Where’s everybody going?' one man next to me just wondered aloud," the reporter added.
