Speier on Trump's desire for military parade: 'We have a Napoleon in the making'
By Brett Samuels - 02/06/18 09:12 PM EST

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) on Tuesday ripped reports that the Pentagon is organizing a military parade at President Trump’s direction, comparing the president to French leader Napoleon Bonaparte.

“I was stunned by it to be quite honest. I mean, we have a Napoleon in the making here. And I believe that we have so many issues around the world in terms of preparing for wars that are ongoing, and wars that may be in the offing because of what’s happening in North Korea, that I would say that it’s really a waste of money,” Speier told CNN's Anderson Cooper.

“I think everyone should be offended by his need to always be showing. He’s truly Napoleon-like,” she added, referring to Bonaparte, who led France's military in the French Revolution before becoming the country’s dictator.

Sure you were because you would like to abolish the military and turn the bases into gay bath houses.

If Napoleon had tanks, we wouldn’t have a Russia controversy taking up bandwidth and newspaper space.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

President Trump is incredibly supportive of America’s great service members who risk their lives  every day to keep our country safe. He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation,” Sanders said.

It seems he was impressed by one in France; thus the reason the cow is calling him “Napoleon”.
