I think a military parade as it sounds would be wasteful and I hate Trump, but this article makes it seem less grandiose and still in the early stages of discussion.

Even if it doesn’t happen, the fact that it’s even being considered is troubling. Americans are not accustomed to large-scale military parades. It would be bizarre and wasteful.

He’s a malignant narcissist - of course he’s blind to that.

OMG also what does he care anymore? Seriously - what would he even care? He's tossing us into a recession just for funsies and doesn't care what anyone thinks of this - you think he's going to care if there's a giant military birfday pawade for Mr Big Boy, too? He might even get to ride in one of the tanks! You DCUM mommies could only be so lucky to do that for your toddler - touch a truck is sooo low rent.

I think the local MAGAs are sick of his shit at this point. I don’t see a lot of DMV folks showing up for this.

He doesn't have the mental capacity for the job (not clear he did last term either, but it's clearly worse now.) He's just happy to be like great-grandpa waving the flag at a parade, while everyone around him claps.

No, we are not sick of Trump. We are fully behind his America First doctrine.

Hail to the chief!

$92 million dollars could pay for more than 750 infectious disease experts, 1000 epidemiologists, or almost 2000 park rangers.

Add to it the $151 million in taxpayer dollars he's wasted on golf trips since taking office.

He is completely unserious about the deficit. His administration is a horrible, sick joke.

+1000%

Explain how an expenditure of a 100 million on a parade makes sense while DOGE is cutting jobs and we are trying to cut the deficit.

I am the PP and that would be much better than what we have. If he were waving a flag while letting everything else go on more or less as it was - embarrassing and gross but ok. That's kind of what he did last time. No he's burning everything to the ground because he wants to be MORE active this time.

A military parade is insignificant in comparison to y he amount of military aid we give to Israel. Meanwhile, they get access to free healthcare and top of the line cancer treatments while many Americans struggle to afford even basic healthcare

Well, genius, why doesn't Trump cut off that military aid? Hmm? He's Supreme Overlord Commander, isn't he? He has the authority, doesn't he? So why hasn't he done it? Why hasn't he pulled all funds to Israel?

Go on, have a think on it. I'll circle back while you give your brain a workout.

It’s great you love your overlord.

But can’t you see how horrible it is to stage an expensive parade when you’ve laid off thousands of people? And then implement tariffs that are going to have severe financial implications for Americans. You can’t see why this is a bad look and a bad call? Not to mention this is not how our country operates

Does the $92M pay for out streets that he will destroy with the tanks?

It’s sad how low your standards are, really. Of course, it guarantees that Trump gets a standing ovation if he so much as uses the potty like a big boy, so it’s a match made in heaven.

Commercials need to be run about this military parade and the wastefulness of it. Where are the dems on this?
