You'd think, but he's decided to take the weekend off (not kidding). This, after it came out that he wanted tanks and rocket launchers at the inauguration. Our Dear Leader had to be told that it would look bad, and that the weight of the tanks would turn the streets to rubble.

I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious if you have a link/source regarding the tanks and rocket launchers

    So you don't have a real source, just conjecture?

      No, I'm not a reporter, I don't have any sources. Just trying to help people who don't feel like looking it up themselves.

    that story was served anonymously, but correctly predicted 2 days ago that there would be military overflights of teh inauguration parade, confirmed here: http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/military-flyovers-for-inauguration-day http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/military-flyovers-for-... So I think it would be a mistake to dismiss it as pure conjecture considering that it has been partly validated by events. It would be quite easy to file a FOIA request to find out whether there were requests for ground-based hardware. Trump is already on record expressing a desire for military parades: http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/trump-to-hold-military-parades-as-us-forces-grow http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/trump-to-hold-military...
