The Washington Post just announced that Trump plans a massive demonstration of military power in Washington, D.C. This parade will not do anything to keep our country safe, and it will not honor the men and women in uniform. Its entire purpose is to let Donald Trump play dictator for a day, further eroding democracy, and pushing our country even closer to authoritarianism.
This announcement must not be treated as normal. I urge you to use your position as mayor of our nation's capital to prevent President Trump from holding his dangerous war parade in your city.

Trump may have obvious personal flaws, but this is the best thing in years if not decades for American national security. The parade is not for its practical imperatives but is important that it sends a message to our enemies: That America is not to be messed with.
