I feel as if I am becoming a late-night comedian, but our Buffoon in Chief and the Tribune story selection process are just giving us too much material.

Now Trump wants to have a parade to show that his (military?) is bigger than Kim Jong Un’s!

I support and appreciate the military as much as any American. I am the son of a 22-year Marine pilot and the father of a Navy officer. So why don’t we use the enormous amount of money this will cost and use it to really support our forces, rather than embarrass ourselves once again to the world?

And if The Tribune wants to print a real timely and useful story, how about one that outlines the process for the American people to bypass the Cabinet and Congress to impeach the Embarrasser in Chief?
