Military Parade in Capital on Trump’s Birthday Could Cost $45 Million, Officials Say
The parade is scheduled for June 14, the date of the Army’s 250th anniversary, and is billed as the “Army’s birthday celebration.” President Trump turns 79 that day.

A military parade planned for next month could cost up to $45 million and is expected to include up to two dozen M1 Abrams tanks rolling through the streets of Washington, two defense officials said Thursday.

The parade, according to the Army’s website, will be held on June 14, which is both the date of the Army’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s 79th birthday.

The officials who spoke about the costs said that the estimate, previously reported by Reuters, did not include the cleanup or repairs from damage to Washington’s roads from the tank traffic. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning

$45 million ? Not a big deal; just check under the couch cushions of the gifted plane from Qatar.

The Army already said it would pay if there is any road damage. Stop with the fear mongering.

Fear mongering? Aren’t you the one supporting DOGE? What a massive hypocrite. Cut health services for veterans but have a parade that includes tanks and then spend millions to fix the roads? Trump is set to cut 83,000 workers from the VA. You people are a sick cult.

No that is not what is happening fool.

Cutting veterans anything is Unamerican.

These People have given their lives for us and your boy wants to be king and raid the US treasury blind. You are an idiot to think this is anything but Don’s biggest score as a criminal.

Veterans deserve better. You are in the dumbest cult ever. By all means stand with Putin over the US. You know what that makes you a god dammed traitor.

Have you ever used the VA? The services are terrible, there’s too much red tape, doctors have to ask supervisors, you can’t get meds. The entire system is due for an overhaul! It’s disgusting how they treat vets.

Veterans like the VA: https://www.va.gov/wilmington-health-care/news-releases/trust-in-va-among-veteran-patients-rises-to-918-up-6-since-2018/

And someone doesn't know that funding isn't just a big pile of money. Employees are a continuing expense that needs to be funded year after year. $45 million is 180 people for a single year. But sure, hire 83,000 with it. That's $540/year before pension, healthcare, and taxes.

I LOVE going to the VA for my health care. I gave up my private BCBS once my DD aged out. I have gotten excellent care and service. I go to the hospital here in DC! Excellent!

Sounds like you don’t actually know any vets. My dad and all his friends use the VA. Because you know, they were drafted into the Vietnam war when they were 18. They like it. They aren’t rich and appreciate that’s fee/lower cost.

I don’t understand what this has to do with the thread’s discussion. Are you trying to insult someone who works hard and may have a lower level job? So you are off topic and an elitist jerk? And the Trump cult is always talking about elitism from liberals..

Not to mention that you must just come to DCUM to create Trump propaganda. Everyone knows this board is full of rich, bored women. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m one of them. But unlike you, I respect people who work hard - regardless of their job.

The cost to repair D.C. streets after Trump's upcoming military parade could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.
