Of course Donald Trump wants a military parade. I'd be surprised if he didn't. It's just what an insecure narcissist would want. A parade would be the national equivalent of his strutting around like a peacock, dying to turn heads. Even a politician can see that: "I think confidence is silent and insecurity is loud, Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy said. "America is the most powerful country in all of human history; you don't need to show it off."

I wonder if this is fake news, largely because I didn't hear it come out of his mouth personally. It is the type of thing his detractors would just assume he'd say- possibly he was just making nice noises about the French parade or whatever, and then some idiot journalist leaped to conclusions.
But as of yet, I haven't seen anything that actually goes back to him saying it, just a lot of talking heads pontificating about it.
