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.
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
Where’s DOGE on this waste and abuse?
Can’t have a parade if doge fires the entire military!!!
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
Anyone in the military that goes along with this should be removed for treason
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
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.
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.
So if all of the military is focusing their effort on this stupid expensive bullshit, what’s the most disruptive thing a group of well organized people could do?
Paint the route in pride colours the night before
Boycott the event and protest 4 miles away. Imagine his face when nobody turns up haha
Bomb pearl harbor? No one would expect it
It’d be an awful shame if a nuclear bomb went off during the parade. The news the next day would probably read: Nuke in downtown DC, nothing of value lost.
I’d say we should throw rotten eggs and tomatoes, but we won’t be able to afford that.
Definitely going. It’s gonna be the hugest, best parade ever, like no one’s ever seen. Spectacular.
