After destroying an American economy that was the "envy of the world," Trump is gifting himself a four-mile military parade in D.C. worthy of a fascist dictator. The June 14 exercise in narcissism coincides with the shitstain’s birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
Given the significant milestone of 250 years, the officials said the Army has been looking over options to make its annual celebration far bigger, with more capability demonstrations, static displays of equipment, and more engagement with the community.
The event will likely involve the Army’s demonstration parachute team, the Golden Knights, armored Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, the officials said, though it would likely not include M-1 Abrams tanks due to their size and weight.
Bowser on Monday expressed concern over the possibility that tanks could damage DC streets, but one of the defense officials emphasized that the Army is working in coordination with civil engineers to ensure there is no damage to roadways if there is a parade.
The parade planning harkens back to Trump’s first term, when he hoped to host a military-style parade but called it off after the city said it would cost tens of millions of dollars, CNN previously reported. It is not clear how much the parade is estimated to cost this time around.
