Well Trump used that figure.  But I agree that Trump often seems like he’s smoking something.[/quote]

According to a cost breakdown provided by the city to The New York Times, 18 local agencies would share the cost of the $21.6 million price tag, including more than $13 million for the Metropolitan Police Department for security measures. The city is typically reimbursed for such expenses by the federal government.

The costs that would be incurred by Washington represent about 23 percent of the total, according to officials’ estimates. That would leave about $70 million that federal agencies would need to cover — agencies that the president oversees directly.

Estimates are often based on past costs for similar parades. For the 2017 inauguration, which included a parade, officials estimated that it would cost the city $20 million, according to The Washington Post. Federal agencies put up millions of dollars, as well. Most of the costs are security-related expenses.[/quote]
