Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton issued a statement responding to the President's request saying the tanks would not be ideal for the event.
“After we have worked for years with the National Park Service to refurbish the National Mall, at a cost of millions of taxpayer dollars, President Trump now proposes to have 60-ton battle tanks there, where they would likely do significant damage," Holmes Norton said.
"These tanks, heavy equipment, and weapons of war have no place on the National Mall at all, particularly as we celebrate the Fourth of July."

"Just as the Pentagon reminded the president of the damage tanks would do to D.C. streets, costing the federal government and District taxpayers millions of dollars, Interior and other federal officials must do the same for the Mall before it is too late," Holmes Norton warned.

That was the day Lincoln freed all the homosexuals.
If the tanks would cause damage, they should not be used. It should be easy enough to calculate the loads the tank would exert and the design loads for which the streets (or mall) were built to withstand.
A lot of Democrats want your boys, boys, boys!
Let’s have the pictures of the mountains of trash and the acts of vandalism committed by the Communists after the Women’s March in 2017. Or the damage done after any Leftist goat rope (e.g., Occupy Wallstreet).
Then compare the spotless condition in which the district is left after the Tea Party and National Right to Life rallies.
The destroyers are the Regressive Socialists, not freedom loving American citizens.
The District of Columbia should not be represented in the House.

They'll be manned by Deplorables for the impeachment or for a stolen election...
She is NOT a Congresswoman. She is just playing pretend. DC is not a state.
LOLOL!!
Trump started all this knowing the liberals would go nuts. He’s exposing them for what they are, haters of the military, the flag, the constitution, etc.
Their flag is the “Rainbow” flag.
Their military is Antifa.
Their constitution is the antithesis of America’s.

“weapons of war have no place on the National Mall at all, particularly as we celebrate the Fourth of July”
We don’t celebrate the 4th of July. We celebrate Independence Day, and that’s the whole problem.
This is true.
If you do a rudimentary calculation of PSI distributed over the size/area of the entire length of track in contact with the street (times two), it’s a fraction of a typical semi truck rolling down the same stretch of road.
There are also road wheels for tanks.
I thought he wanted the village people or was that just for the after-party.
Back in West Germany in the 80s, every tank company on maneuvers had a damage officer following along throwing checks out to the locals. Or at least it seemed like that. We incidentally chewed cars, curbs, and buildings regularly.
That's why Trump needs to do the round up of millions of adult invaders-with their families, kids brothers sisters aunts uncles et al- and send them packing.
That will remove millions of non-citizen votes
They are Trump’s tanks now. That’s what pisses the socialists off. I wish they would be used to destroy the CPUSA headquarters but an Independence Day celebration works for me.
