I didn't realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that's fucking glorious
Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
This pic is cropped so you can't see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn't see over.
Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.
Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.
He looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.

Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?
Local cover band even.
I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.

Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
Well now I see it, oh well I'll leave the comment up to be mocked
No mockery needed, it's still very valid
Even so, he's known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn't there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?

Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?
I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.
Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.
This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don't read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.
Lol I don't analyze every number I see and... like... scan my brain's data storage for 30 seconds to see if it match anything.
Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.

To spell it out for y'all, it's a joke number.
86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.
47 is the trump president number.
Thank you. I am one of those thick individuals that did not see the code hahaha.
I didn't get it till someone else commented about it either.
My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School's marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.
Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.

This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.

Pathetic.
Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don't give a flying fuck about drumpf's lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it's literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice
Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.
What a fucking loser.
This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.
All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it's 250k
My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put 'huge' in the title of their article about it.
Doesn't matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.
I told my partner, and she asked "Does that include the band?"
It's worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.
i expected more gullible shitlipped cult sheeple
Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?
OK I had to look it up but the joke is "86" as in "get rid of" and 47, that is, Trump
Aaaahhh, I totally missed that. The comma threw me off thinking it was a real number.

They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.

So, according to Trump after he's told that number, "millions and millions and millions, a parade like you've never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I'd say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must've had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade".
All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡
