      Trump said he wanted submarines for the parade. I don’t think he knows the concept of a submarine, dragging one on the streets probably makes it not surfacable anymore.

        I think he thinks the Navy has those little dinky two man subs that the Japanese used for Pearl Harbor. I don’t think he realizes that even if you could find a trailer to put one of our nuclear subs on, it would destroy every single street it touches just from sheer mass alone.

            Kinda. It would involve The Navy moving heaven and earth for him, logistically and security speaking, but they do that as a normal operating procedure.

            It would also involve him being able to get inside one, which is another logistical challenge, as I don’t know if a crane or pallet jack would be more useful in this particular exercise.

            Also would involve him actually giving a shit about the reality of the military and the veterans, which we all know that he despises, based on almost a decade of him openly insulting the military in general, and the rank and file directly.
