Question about the "military parade":

I’ve been trying to find articles or social media posts all day regarding who all was sitting with Trump on those bleachers, to no avail. I saw Rubio and Hegseth. Was Musk or Thiel there or any of The Nerd Reich? (h/t Gil Duran). I understand Palantir was likely a sponsor but wondering who was actually there. Was Mike Flynn or Erik Prince there?

Thank you very much in advance for any info.

I didn’t see Junior. He may have been using the opportunity to hoover some coke.

Ivanka and Barron were the two kids not there. But here's more info about attendees:

"Shots of the parade stand showed Trump standing alongside first lady Melania, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.



Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Senator Joni Ernst were all spotted watching the tanks and artillery roll down Constitution Avenue. Even “golf buddy” Steve Witkoff made an appearance.'

I know Rubio was there.

The attendance was so sparse I don't know why we don't have a complete list by now. lol
