Summary
Trump is planning a $92 million military parade on June 14, 2025—his 79th birthday, Flag Day, and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
The four-mile event, from the Pentagon to the White House, revives a long-desired spectacle Trump previously canceled in 2018 over costs.
He has since overhauled military leadership, removing top Pentagon officials and replacing them with loyalists likely to support the parade.
D.C. officials, facing pressure from Trump’s federal overreach, have shown little resistance. Critics call it a vanity project amid broader concerns about authoritarian tendencies.
Wow, America, you’ve really let an old failure of a person -and Russian asset- turn your country into a dictatorship without as much as a whimper.
Who knew it would be so easy to do it that a failed reality TV star could do it?It’s hilarious, yet shockingly sad, to see this in real time.
I mean, yeah, if it was an evil genius then I could see how it could happen, but to a conman like tRUMP? Christ.It was kind of planned. They kept making people more and more stupid thinking it will make them easier to control. What they didn’t expect is that people will get so stupid they will stop listening to them and choose other idiot instead.
Social media and News brainrot did all the heavy lifting for the last 10 years.
I’m 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.
They’ll spin it as necessary and patriotic to lift the spirits of the American people, or some bullshit like that.
I stand with DOGE in this pursuit
Sorry but DOGE only gets involved when the government uses tax payer money to feed starving children or help keep old people from ending up on the street.
Anyone in the military that goes along with this should be removed for treason
Where’s DOGE on this waste and abuse?
Can’t have a parade if doge fires the entire military!!!
Sounds like a great time to do massive civil disobedience.
I’m pretty sure the DC cops wouldn’t be inclined to step in if a few hundred thousand folks decided to block the parade route.
Maybe you even get someone ran over by a tank. Hmm, that sounds familiar.
I know you’re being sarcastic, but I’d point out that it wouldn’t be the military handling crowd control; it would be the DC police.
DC and Trump have a long and unhappy history.
First article in search.
I’m pretty sure the cops would decide that they didn’t want to interfere with a legitimate protest.
Depends. Trump is still trying to bring DC police under DHS control.
They would likely just use sonic weapons to disperse the crowds. People would trample eachother to death trying to flee and he’d just bitch about how inconsiderate all those protestors were.
I wonder what’s worse for Trump: a riot on his parade or nobody showing up.
First, Trump can’t do anything wrong. If nobody shows up he’d tell himself they were all home watching on TV and if there’s a riot he’ll say that Soros paid for it.
Second, even if ACAB the DC police have a vested interest in their own city. They’d put making Trump look bad ahead of anything else.
Good luck
ACAB.
We could keep another thousand or so federal employees employed for the next year for that, but yeah let’s waste that money for a non-milestone birthday year for an asshole instead.
Oh man, if we could fuck up his birthday party I would be so happy.
I should stop paying taxes
They can’t arrest all of us.
So how do veterans feel about this? Lousy ass draft dodger Private Bonespurs forcing the military to prance around in his honor?
So, 3 months in office and we’re already going to waste over $120m for this fucking cunt to play golf on the job and stroke his ego with a military parade? At least they could fire 2,400 people in an unimportant place like the CDC to offset the costs for things that truly make America great. /s
What does the efficiency experts say about this spending? Seems a bit of a waste of cash. I mean if we have to fire thousands of people because they cost too much…then why waste it here. We don’t need this, we don’t need him.
4 mile stretch. I hope they run out of people the first mile and they have to run to get in front of the parade to make it look like it’s full. I hope an eagle shits right on his head too.
I wonder if the military are practicing the goose step
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
