Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took aim at one of President Donald Trump’s greatest insecurities on Sunday, needling him over the lackluster crowd at his Washington, D.C. military parade this past weekend.

The insults have compared the military parade to a plethora of small, intimate events ranging from July 4th cookouts to a normal night at a Golden Corral restaurant

Thousands of Americans flocked to downtown D.C. in "Make America Great Again" hats and patriotic gear displaying Old Glory despite the balmy weather and thunderstorms brewing.
