Glorious Leader’s Birthday Parade To Feature 25 Tanks

Reuters reports:

Twin celebrations of U.S. President Donald Trump’s birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary will include as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington in a celebration that will cost $25 million to $45 million, U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

Those costs reportedly don’t include post-celebration costs that the Beltway would have to bear, including trash pickup and road repairs from the weight of the tanks.

Some critics have rebuked the parade as wasteful given the mission of Trump and Elon Musk’s so-called DOGE. Yet the U.S. Army, helmed by Trump ally Pete Hegseth, is already planning to move troops and battle equipment to Washington for the anniversary celebration on June 14.

Read the full article. Some estimates have placed the cost of Glorious Leader’s parade at over $90 million.

Trump wants 6,600 Troops, 50 helicopters, and millions of your tax dollars for a birthday parade.

Not to honor service, not for national defense—just to feed the ego of a wannabe dictator.

Pure authoritarian cosplay.
