| Agree with PP. I don’t see any need for it nor will I attend. I would much rather the money be spent on something for more important. |
| Who wants to stand in the sun or bother with parking in DC to watch some people and vehicles go by? It isn’t the 1950s anymore. And nobody just landed on Mars. |
| If you hold a parade and no one shows up, is it even a parade |
I'm so curious to see what attendance is like. I just checked hotel prices this weekend in DC and they are dirt cheap. 30+ percent lower than usual. |

I wish we still had a dog. I’d go throw dog poo at Trump’s parade.

| I’m excited for the flyovers and I hope there are fireworks. |
No but my 7 year old son is going to be thrilled! Little boys like tanks and military parades. Sorry! |
Gross. You sound like trash. |
Please explain to your child that they are obsessed with death-machines designed to inflict human suffering and destroy lives. You’re not doing a very good job as a parent if your child likes militaristic garbage. Do better. |
Certainly the ones raised in sexist households. |
| It’s just so sad and jarring to see an old man so desperate for attention as to throw himself (oh and the Nation) a yuge parade. It’s just so freaking needy and desperate for respect. |
| I'm French, living in the DC area. We've had a military parade for our Fête Nationale on July 14th ever since the end of WWI, so I'm certainly not against such a display. However, it doesn't look good to hold one of the very rare military parades the US has ever had, on the President's birthday! Not good optics at all. |
FWIW my daughters always like them also. |
Internalized misogyny. Sad. |
It's also the 250th anniversary of the US Army. |
