‘Looks Like Prisoners Of War Are Marching': Foreign Journalists Mock Trump’s Birthday Military Parade​

The US witnessed the largest military parade in decades on President Donald Trump’s birthday. Several videos of the parade have caught eyeballs online, all for bad reasons. Spectators pointed out that it lacked discipline and enthusiasm.

Swedish economist and author Anders Aslund said the event was a “wonderful embarrassment for Trump". He also mentioned that he was watching the parade on BBC and France 24 when the French commentators pointed out that the American soldiers don’t know how to march.

“Enjoying watching Trump’s military parade on BBC and France 24 because it is a wonderful embarrassment for Trump. As the French commentators point out, the American soldiers don’t know how to march & don’t seem enthusiastic about doing so for Trump," he said.

Indian journalist Smita Prakash compared the march with a march by the prisoners of war and said that the military looked “listless".

“This is how POWs march—listless," she said on X.
