'Trump recommends: I want a military parade'

washington - That Donald Trump would like to see a grand military parade in the United States was already known, but his request has turned into a tough demand.

The Washington Post writes this on the authority of two sources that were present at military summit. The military parades are mainly known from the old Soviet era and from North Korea. Nevertheless, Trump prefers to associate with France. Since he was on the national holiday on July 14, he fell in love with the military display of power.

As a guest of Emmanuel Macron, Trump saw the uniformed soldiers marching across the Champs-Élysées, complete with tanks, armed vehicles and fighter planes in the air. 'This was one of the best military parades ever,' Trump said afterwards. 'We will try to surpass it. '

In the 'highest circles of the army' is currently working on a plan. According to spokespeople it is only about 'brainstorming' and nothing is certain yet. The White House has also officially confirmed that the 'possibilities are being examined'.

In the past, the USA has- with a few exceptions- never had a parade, partly because the thoughts go mainly to the Soviet Union, and partly because it was not necessary to prove military supremacy.
