and it's gonna cost a SH!T-TON of MONEY!!! I think this is DEFINITELY one thing that could be called frivolous spending and DOGE could do their stuff with it. But that's just me.
eta: one of the comments on the yahoo story was "remember Biden's military-style birthday parade? Yeah, NO you don't, because it never happened!"
NO ONE better say a THING about spending money on things like SSA, OSHA, FAA, Department of Education, etc. being wasteful EVER AGAIN!! Because compared to THIS?!? SRSLY?!?

From last night Thousands of federal workers fired, USAID cancelled, children going hungry, FEMA and other agencies decimated, FF has cost millions to fly to MAL for golf almost every weekend.... And now his great dream may come true...... Four miles, $100 million estimate SEVEN years ago. How much more today..?? President Donald Trump could finally be getting something he's longed for since first getting elected to the White House. Trump pushed for a grandiose military parade through the streets of D.C. during his first term but was forced to back down over the costs, but a D.C. source with knowledge of the plan said commandeered June 14, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and his own 79th birthday for a four-mile parade, reported the Washington City Paper. The plans are still being developed, and local officials are just now catching wind of it, but the source said the parade would depart from the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and proceed four miles to the White House in Washington. D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser's office did not respond to a request for comment, but she publicly opposed Trump's wishes for a parade seven years ago, when military leaders told him the show of force would cost nearly $100 million and local officials complained that heavy military equipment like tanks would damage pavement and cost them more than $20 million to provide security.www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-military-parade/100 million dollars projected seven years ago.... What cost now! He also wants the day made a holiday every year! |

The govt is only cracking down on spending as it relates to middle and lower class citizens. |

Disgusting. Other Presidents don't do this do they?! So juvenile. I hope the streets are lined with protesters. To clarify. I hope they are protesting him but celebrating the military. I am sure people can come up with clever signs to make it obvious how hated trump is and how supported the army are.

One of the previous Presidential actions was Hegseth and Noem to prepare a report, due on that day to answer the question of “Should a declaration of martial law be made?” What do we think the report will conclude? |

Of course he wants a parade! Every other dictator in the world has parades, so of course he needs one too. And his own special day as well. How wonderful!

I think that he’s been talking to Kim Jong Un again. Kim loves military parades.
I love the fact that he is planning a parade for his own birthday. What’s the matter, Donald? Not getting enough birthday wishes from the family and all of the sycophants around you?

When he talked about it years ago, he was told the roads would be destroyed by all the heavy military vehicles.

Those 5M+ "protesters" were all paid $100K each to stage that whole thing... I'm waiting for my check now... NOT!! Just when you wonder if he could possibly do any more... |

It would be nice if the military refused to do this.

When he talked about it years ago, he was told the roads would be destroyed by all the heavy military vehicles. And that the bridge (I can’t remember if it’s the 14th St or Roosevelt Memorial). would collapse. I hope it collapses as he is directly in the middle of the bridge. |

He's just glomming onto that and making it all about him, like he does with everything. (he had to be positively insufferable to grow up with / be around, with his personality disorders.) |

He knows not enough people would ever celebrate his birthday so he's taking people already celebrating something else and pretending they give a crap about his birthday. |
