Trump’s $45 Million Birthday Parade: Waste, Damage, and Outrage
The U.S. Army’s 250th-anniversary parade, scheduled for June 14th in Washington, D.C., carries an estimated $45 million price tag. This includes significant road repair costs, totaling up to $16 million, to accommodate the 130 vehicles and extensive flyover of over 50 aircraft. Over 9,000 military personnel will participate, with the event anticipated to last approximately 90 minutes along Constitution Avenue. President Trump has defended the expense, contrasting it with the nation’s military capabilities.
