Most Americans (76%) oppose spending $45 million to hold a large parade of soldiers, weapons, and combat vehicles on the streets of Washington, D.C., in celebration of the Army’s 250th birthday and President Trump’s birthday, including 48% who strongly oppose, compared with only 21% who are in favor.
Solid majorities of Democrats (93%) and independents (80%) oppose the military parade, as well as a slim majority of Republicans (52%). Even among Americans who hold favorable views of Trump, a slim majority opposes this event (52%).

Well. You can’t be telling people they need to tighten their belts and be patient for the economic pain and that there needs to be cuts to government services because we can’t afford them and do something like this.
Messaging is off.
Other than the minimal amounts it will take to repair the roads, this money would never be saved or spent elsewhere. It would always be spent by the DOD.
And that $45 million is entirely a guess.

We’re going to have a big, beautiful parade.
And we’re going to do it very strongly.
It’s going to show strength. And a lot of it.
It’s going to show a lot of strength.
