Price tag for Trump's military parade could reach $45 million

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Biden didn't waste $45 million dollars on a parade. You're all such frauds.

.


No, he laundered billions through his ***** Zelenskyy.

A drop in the bucket compared to the cost of supplying condoms to Madagascar and funding drag shows in South America.

“A massive military parade planned in Washington next month will cost an estimated $25 million to $45 million and will involve dozens of war planes, hundreds of Army vehicles and thousands of soldiers from across the country sleeping in downtown government office buildings, an Army spokesperson said Thursday.”

This is an example of government fraud and waste that needs to be eliminated.

Stop funding Ukraine

You need to see someone about being a member of the Trump cult.

WHich of your masters is telling you this parade celebrating the military is honoring Trump?

You believe your master when he tells you this is not for him.

Uh, yeah. It's a military parade for the Army's 250th birthday. Did you whine when Obama had military parade to say farewell to himself and his family?

Nothing is a coincidence in leftist la la land if they can use it as another excuse to hate Mr. Trump.

I'm ready for another three and a half years of it. It's fun.

President Barack Obama participated in the traditional Presidential Inaugural Parades held in Washington, D.C. after his inaugurations in 2009 and 2013.
These parades, which involve military units, veteran organizations, marching bands, and civilian groups, are a long-standing tradition in the United States.

Bullshit. 45 million.

Trump has allocated a significant portion of its budget for potential road repairs. The overall cost of the parade is estimated to be between $25 and $45 million. Out of this total, $16 million is specifically set aside for potential street repairs due to concerns about the heavy equipment, particularly Abrams tanks, planned for the event, which could damage D.C.'s streets. The Army has stated they will cover the cost of these repairs.
USAID, for example, procures condoms for around $0.05 each, according to Reuters, as cited in Reuters fact check. To put this into context, 15 million condoms, as planned by Madagascar in 2004, would have cost between $750,000 and $750,000 if purchased at the USAID procurement price or at a slightly higher price.


The point is, you guys promised to cut out the government fraud, WASTE and abuse. And you aren't even coming close.

How much did sending the troops into Cali cost us? $134 million

How much to turn that plane Qatar "gave" Trump into Air Force One? 1 billion

Oh , and only $20,000 for South America

Ecuador: The State Department, under the Biden administration, awarded a $20,600 grant to a cultural center in Ecuador to host "drag theater performances". The State Department defended the grant, stating it promotes diversity and inclusion for LGBTQI+ communities and helps address rising violence against them.

... because the optics make it so.

Remember that Trump despises our armed force members.

That’s why he doubled funding from Biden era

As usual, the blind partisan Trump Cult attempts, and fails, to defend the indefensible.

China and Russia have massive military parades all the time.

I cannot recall ANY military parade in MY lifetime, in this country.
So, I say we are WAY past due for one!!!

I remember having military parades every Memorial Day (Veterans Day) for years after WW2. They weren't as grand as this one is going to be, but they were pretty good.

And even better because they did not have an ass of a Trump as part of them.

$45 is a steep bargain given that Democrats spent more than $200 billion a year catering to illegal aliens and using USAID for money laundering.

The parade will stimulate local economy, especially the hospitality industry. It will be a net gain for the IRS and businesses.

The Dems did not campaign on the ,"we are broke", propaganda.

They know the parade was an incredible failure and waste of money. Even they didn't attend the parade.

As millions gathered at anti-Trump protests around the nation, the president’s $45 million parade ― held on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army as well as his own birthday ― was marked by low turnout and even lower energy.

Trump himself at times appeared bored as the day dragged on.

Republicans don't seem to realize that if China, Russia, India, North Korea, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia are all conspiring against us, it's his fault.

I know Republicans are super loyal to Trump. Like, no matter what dumb thing he says or does, that's their guy. And they'll probably try to say we are unpatriotic for pointing out what a **** up he is. They'll say we are WISHING ill on the USA. Or rooting for China. They are totally brainwashed.

Anyways, I had to say that before I pointed out how impressive China's military parade was. Especially when you recall Trump's 45 million dollar pathetic parade on his birthday. Close your eyes. See all the impressive nukes, drones, bombs and soldiers in China's parade. Can you see it? No what do you see when you think of Trump's parade that was supposed to impress the rest of the world?

Putin and China are playing Trump. They probably talked him into tariffing Europe and Canada. He got them to start a fight with our allies. What a dope. America is doomed with Republicans in charge.
