This whole timeline is getting so strange that I wouldn’t be surprised if this actually happened.

    Someone from the Qatar government needs to make him a crown. And stress the fact that it has more jewels in it than the queen’s one. He’d totally wear it

    I keep expecting to see him wearing an ill-fitting military uniform covered in fake awards and accommodations.

      Nah, he’s not that kind of dictator. He doesn’t need to feel like he’s in the military - he needs to feel like he’s above them, on top of them as it were. The big military parade isn’t for him to feel like a general - it’s so he can copy his authoritarian friends without actually having the military cred himself to back it up. It’s cargo cult dictatorship.

      We’ll see that once McDonalds offers him a purple heart happy meal

    Yeah tell him I would like him twice as much if he did that.

    But robes, not a uniform. Because he seems like he would really really get off on wearing a bunch of medals like that Libyian dictator.
