President Trump To Stand On Lenin's Tomb During 2020 May Day Parade In Moscow? Try Stopping Him.

The Honorable Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, said he wants to accept the invitation from H.E. Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, to participate among other heads of state at the 9 May 2020 Moscow Victory Day Parade which will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.  The event will be far larger than previous commemorations with displays of weapons and thousands of military personnel marching through Red Square.  

Will be challenging for the President (despite potential concerns from his staff at The White House and at his re-election campaign) to resist the attraction of potentially standing atop Lenin’s Tomb located in Red Square where generations of Politburo Members of the Communist Party of the U.S.S.R. have stood wearing their somber-colored coats and hats while viewing the parade.  President Trump would likely wear his standard red tie- appreciating the irony. 

In June 2019, when suggestions from some officials were to the contrary, President Trump stepped from South Korea onto the soil of North Korea.   

President Putin will treat President Trump as THE guest of honor; that’s always a magnet for President Trump.   

The President will reinforce using the “realities on the ground argument” his disconnect from The Trump Administration and from the United States Congress with respect to the relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation. 

The event in Moscow will likely be too much honey for the bear to refuse.  Pun intended.

On 10 March 2020: “MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - “The Kremlin said on Tuesday that the United States had told Moscow that U.S. President Donald Trump would not travel to Russia to mark Victory Day on May 9. “
