Maybe a complication in the initial planning phases was the lack of an assurance from the commander in chief that he would get straight As in school, do his chores every single day without even being asked, and the parade would count for his birthday and Christmas too. That’s usually a standard offer in these situations.
But, but…if the parade isn’t held this year it will miss the centennial anniversary of President Trump’s bringing an end to the War to End All Wars, and the inauguration of Universal Peace for all mankind.
To be replaced by a perp walk.
The parade would actually cost $10Million , the other $82Million would go into Dump`s off shore bank account .
This was a great way to wake up!
Proud of the American Legion.
Well, if he doesn’t get his parade, then Jared will not bring peace to the Middle East and Trump will not enter into great, beautiful, better deals with Iran and North Korea. And the trade wars that are easy to win will not be won. Why is no one thinking of the dire consequences of not having this parade. Waaah!
Or they found out he was beating the dog again.
Maybe we should have a parade for the POWs and the Gold Star families he mocked.
Or the troops he is too cowardly to visit in war zones.
Concerning Trump’s military parade, I’d like to reiterate what the DC City Council said:
No tanks.
That is probably far more accurate than we realize.
Mattis’ response struck me as pure a-holery–digs at reporters smoking weed, bad sources, and who knows what else he managed to put in there. What if he had said “I haven’t seen the report they are referencing. I’ll check into it.” (I realize, however, that making the adult and responsible choice is grounds for immediate dismissal in this administration.)
My guess is that they saw the increased cost, whatever it might actually be, and then had visions of spending that much money when DT had made snarky remarks to the troops about how they should forgo their raises so that they could use the money to pay down the debt. As it turns out, people didn’t think that was all that funny.
Instead of military parades, the US should be more concerned about this:
The extension of trade wars by other means.
Oh jeez.
Parade got canceled the day after Brennan got his security clearance revoked and 3-4 weeks after the Helsinki summit. Coincidence? I think not.
Every kid wants to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
When half or more of the cost of your parade is “security” for the parade route, you know something ain’t quite right.
If they do, they’ll do it with Russian jets.
Is that DC’s projected cost, or Trump’s?
Apparently Donald don’t know what “Agent Orange” was used for
During the meeting, a dispute broke out over whether Robert Duvall’s character in “Apocalypse Now” used napalm or Agent Orange against Vietcong forces. Apparently, Trump falsely believed that it was Agent Orange that U.S. forces used against the enemy, despite the fact that the movie’s single most famous line is Duvall’s character saying, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

It’s a defoliant…not an antipersonel weapon…
