Despite the nearly $50M that went into Donald Trump’s birthday military parade, it doesn’t look like it was very much fun. In fact, his wife, Melania, seemingly dozed off a few times, struggling to keep her eyes open as she perched next to her husband. Users on social media don’t blame her—and many others who left the event before it was even over. Keep reading for more information.
Though Trump made it a point that they needed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the Army—and what better occasion than on his birthday, right?—it was likely one of the most drab parades America has seen, with The New York Times reporting that there were no loudspeakers along the parade route, so the even was so quiet that all that could be heard was the squeaking of tanks as they chugged along.
So quiet that guests were nearly falling asleep! Secretary of State Marco Rubio couldn’t suppress a yawn, and Melania Trump closed her eyes more than a few times. Even Donald himself didn’t look particularly happy, though perhaps that’s because no one wanted to come to his birthday party (notably, his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared).
