Being in Washington this weekend for
00:00:01
this military parade was a hod. I have
00:00:03
to say this town was empty. It really
00:00:05
was. He had his birthday military
00:00:07
parade. The event included over 6,000
00:00:09
soldiers and 100 tanks and probably far
00:00:11
less than the expected 200,000
00:00:13
attendees. It was a ghost town. I just
00:00:15
enjoyed reveling in how stupid and lame
00:00:17
this thing was. And there's no way he
00:00:19
didn't know it. The whole thing was
00:00:20
overshadowed by over 5 million people
00:00:22
attending over 2,000 No Kings protests
00:00:24
around the country which looked like
00:00:26
kind of festive. That was the contrast.
00:00:28
I think that's what No Kings did
00:00:30
correctly from a marketing point of
00:00:32
view. You're exactly right. It was Coke
00:00:34
versus Pepsi and Pepsi just clean Coke's
00:00:37
clock because supposedly as a high
00:00:39
schooler, the best thing you can do to
00:00:40
establish social capital is to throw a
00:00:42
rocking party. You can be a near cool
00:00:44
kid and elevate yourself to cooldom by
00:00:47
throwing an amazing party when your
00:00:48
parents are out of town where they show
00:00:49
up and the garage is on fire and the dog
00:00:51
is pregnant, right? Have like a
00:00:52
crazy party. And this was I have more
00:00:55
money. I'm more powerful. And I threw
00:00:57
just the lamest party. This was a bust
00:00:59
of a parade. It just was.
