4 miles? Just have a 1/2 mile parade that goes in a circle. He'll think it is a 10 mile parade.

Clear out the parking lot around The Ellipse and have them drive around that. Make sure he is facing away from the center so he cant see them circle around, and just keep going until he is tuckered out and gets tucked into bed.
The USA is extremely lucky that Trump is 79 years old. Imagine if he were 40. By the time he turned 79, they would be living in a totalitarian dictatorship. The luck is that they will suffer for another 6-7 years. Yes, Trump will have a third term, in three years there will be no free media or independent judiciary. The public administration will be turned into mindless voters. All critics will suffer the fate of the oppositionists in Russia and will become "allergic to windows". Forget about democracy. Land of the bigots and the home of the bully.
Trump has been called a super ager by some people. That means despite a highly unhealthy lifestyle he has managed to remain active and functional despite all else.
Don't think he could just drop dead tomorrow. While I am sure millions of people would like it if he died suddenly of a heart attack or stroke, that probably isn't going to happen. Kissenger lived to be 100 despite not being much of a healthy looking guy for decades, and his slurring speech patterns were widely mocked as early as the 90s. I am not sure if anyone who wrote his Freakazoid appearance in the 90s ever thought he would live as long as he did.
What I am ultimately saying is that he might make it to 90 and still keep going.

It would be cool if no one went. Just him, Musk, and some right wing drifters on empty streets.
It be cool if the protests were so big they had to cancel the parade route

FUCK THIS IDIOT.
Disgraceful.
They're going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can't blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.

Vive « Papa Trump », héros national et président à vie !
If only Trump's core supporting demographic were educated enough to both get the reference and the joke...
Where’s that meme of Obama being given a medal by none other than… Obama?
Absolute clown show
I remember him wanting a big military parade during his first term too. Somehow he didn't get it.

The article says "A source in the capital told the Washington City Paper that Trump has earmarked June 14—which is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—for the event."
He can stand on a podium and wave like the Soviet leaders of old.
I yearn for that one M1 Abrams in a column of them to focus its turret on the tribune as it passes.
The North Koreans are always showing off with their nukes. 1up them!
