Five things to know about Trump’s $45 million military parade​

Not only is the shameless, whiny narcissist seen as a joke among patriotic Americans, he is recognized as an incompetent blowhard globally.

Majority of countries have ‘no confidence’ in Trump’s abilitie​

About 62% told Pew Research they don’t think Trump has the ability to govern regarding issues such as global economics, immigration, U.S.-China relations, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, over half of the people polled in 19 out of 24 countries said they have no confidence in Trump’s leadership.​

​

All-in-all, 66% of adults polled across 24 countries said the terms “honest,” “understands complex problems,” and “well-qualified to be president” do not describe Trump.​

​

• Fewer than half of adults in 17 countries said they believe Trump can understand complex problems. In 14 countries, half of adults or more say Trump can’t understand complex problems
• Pew says “Trump is seen as less qualified to be president in every country where data is available.”

The Biden administration spent ten times more on recruitment drives and still couldn't meet the quota. Trump's parade is a celebration and is guaranteed to increase recruitment.

Enlistments were on the rise on 23, 24, and continue in 25. Thank you, Mr. Biden. Let's go, Taco.

News sources and some Democrats decry the parade as a waste of money citing figures of tens to over a hundred million dollars in costs to put it on. But, what are the facts?

Every serviceperson is being paid whether they are in the parade or not.
All the equipment and armaments are already paid for.
If the fuel wasn't being used to parade it would be used in training.
Parading is part of the military experience and is a discipline all its own (I paraded a lot when in the service).

So, parading our military isn't all that expensive.

Underwhelming attendance​

Underwhelming attendance​

Predictably. I watched it on Fox. It was ok but not that big a deal. I appreciated seeing the uniforms and equipment that I used while in the army back in the day. There will be other celebrations throughout the year. July 4th celebrations will likely have large military components as well. Attendances will be much larger.

Trump looked bored. He may have fallen asleep. I liked it as well.

I am a boy, I love parades, I loved marching in them in the military, and I enjoyed the Army,

At least the Orange Critter did not have the warriors swear an oath to him alone.

He looked tired and tense. I think he is becoming exhausted. He should slow down.

Covid caused rises in enlistment as the economy plunged.

• Service members are paid per diem for travel in addition to their housing costs and meals.
• Travel for participants have to be paid for.
• Spit/Shinning and painting equipment just for the parade isn't paid for.
• Training must still occur, if the fuel dollars are spent getting the equipment to the parade, then MORE money will be spent because the fuel for training still has to be paid for.
• Then in addition to the personnel movement costs, there is the costs of transporting the equipment either on trucks, rail, or aircraft (transportation, fuel, equipment maintenance and per diem for the movers).

There are more "costs" to the parade than just the military participants. There are local law enforcement and security personnel that have to be brought in (travel + housing + meals) in addition to having to boost the numbers of law enforcement working that day. Many will then be getting overtime pay for the additional hours.

Of course now we will incur the additional costs of getting those troops and tanks to downtown L.A. (I kid, I kid.)
