TRUMP’S Epic Military Parade Ignites Pride And Outrage Across America
— Washington, D.C. will host a huge military parade on June 14 to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s 79th birthday. Tanks, howitzers, and live shows will fill the National Mall. President Trump will watch from a special spot as Army leaders honor him with ceremonies for new recruits and re-enlistments.
The $45 million cost has sparked heated debate. Critics say it looks like something out of an authoritarian regime and question if taxpayer dollars should fund it. Some claim the focus is more on Trump than on honoring soldiers.
Polls show many Americans are uneasy about spending so much money on this event. Protests called “No Kings Day” are planned in cities across the country, with organizers saying they want to highlight government waste and what they see as overreach by Trump.
Even with possible storms and tight security, officials say the parade will go ahead as planned. There will be flyovers, parachute teams, and top guests — though most Democrats have turned down their invites. Protesters say they don’t plan to disrupt but want to show their disapproval of the timing and message behind the celebration.
