The replies to this clip of Trump looking miserable at the parade won’t turn his frown upside down, but they’re bringing the rest of us joy
By now, you’ll be aware that Donald Trump’s military parade wasn’t the North Korean-level display of strength and public adulation that he had hoped, with what appears to be less than a quarter of the expected turnout.
Political commentator Adam Schwarz shared a short clip that really captured the mood. Sound up.

Fascism sucks for everyone, including fascists.
