We The People Buy Trump a Birthday Present: Trump planning military parade through DC for 79th birthday

[essentialsaltes]

The Trump administration is planning a June 14 military parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., to mark the president’s 79th birthday.

It will also mark the Army’s 250th anniversary. A senior administration official confirmed the plans to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.

President Trump in his first term in 2018 ordered the Pentagon to plan a large military parade after he visited Paris and was inspired by a French Bastille Day event.

[That didn't happen, primarily due to costs and bad optics.] see also: Trump's military parade is now estimated to cost $92 million – $80 million more than estimate

But now, who will stand in President Trump's way? And the laid off federal workers of DC and seniors looking at their investments desperately need something to cheer them up.

huzzah!

He may not be a dictator but boy oh boy does he love to try to COSPLAY as one.

The protesters might outnumber the attendees, considering how many assembled at 1200 different locations across the country last Saturday. Of course then he'll say the protesters are protesting the Army.
They would have to have placards supporting the Army and opposing their Commander in Chief at the same time.

I wonder if they’ll construct a special area for it, maybe a square, oh and they can paint it red for Republican symbolism. Just throwing ideas out there.

Can we please all pitch in to get him a general’s uniform to wear or at least have a tailor add some epaulets to his suit jacket?

 

[loveofourlord]

this is just so hilariously dumb, wonder how much this will cost and who wants to bet it's going to void most/all of the cuts doge has made.

It's his party and they'll cry if they want to.

his party american tax payer money, you can't afford usda, or things that help the most needy in the states, but you can afford a ostentatious show of power and self agrandizing, this will come out of the pockets of the very people that trump says there isn't enough money to help because of deficit.

DOGE is ending stupid departments and programs so there'll be enough money for important things like a tickertape birthday parade

...with oversized shiny medals and six golden stars on the shoulder boards.

Now we’re talking. He’s gotta look the part for the parade.

 

[loveofourlord]

Remind me how much the tax cuts will cost again?

 

[Fantine]

Poor guy, having to share his parade with millions of true American heroes with a proud centuries old history.
Congratulations, soldiers.
47 should be an afterthought.

I wonder if we'll get a guy in shirtsleeves carrying some shopping bags standing in front of a tank.

I can't see anyone being dumb enough to set up a time, date and place for all the protests that will invariably be organised.

Oo.

I agree. We WILL see that.

I heard he's scheduled an appointment with Michael Jackson's tailor.

 

[sjastro]

I don't see the problem the other Donald frequently gets a parade.

​

The common denominator here both are dummies.
(I wonder if penguins will be invited.)

I don't choose to buy any president a present. This is against my will /belief , since we don't know them. They don't need money. They're not my family or friend. Trump isn't God. Sadly people thinks he is God. My taxes shouldn't pay for this craziness. It should be against everyone belief. I don't have a choice with the waist of money. I prefer to watch Bones , and other shows .
