Summary

Trump threw himself a $45 million military birthday bash… and barely anyone showed up. The tanks rolled. The jets flew. But the vibes? Flat. The crowd? Sparse. And the headlines? Brutal. Now, the fallout begins. Join Don Lemon, Michael Fanone, and the Jolly Good Ginger as they break down what went wrong, why this parade flop matters, and what it reveals about Trump’s slipping grip on public support. From the staggering price tag to the no-show allies to the contrast with the massive No Kings protests, this isn’t the flex Trump hoped for. Let’s talk about the spectacle, the silence, and what it all means. This episode is sponsored by Shopify. Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial and start selling today at SHOPIFY.
