Trump wants the parade for Trump. he wants to be saluted by thousands of troops as he sits up in the VIP booth wearing his honorary uniform with a bunch of patches, ribbons, and medals.

Gotta feed that ego!

How many homeless veterans would $20,000,000 feed?

What if $20,000,000 was donated to the biggest veteran suicide programs?
Excellent points .

Unless he thinks he's going to impress God (unlikely), I rather suspect it's for him, and him alone.
He deserves it, he's the biggest mover and shaker in American history.

No, that would be President George "Bad Ass" Washington.

I wonder how many will actually show up for the parade. On your day off you drive downtown DC to watch a stupid parade? I won't be there. And I bet most people feel the same way.

It would be funny, hilarious in fact, if the troops marched for blocks thru empty streets with no one there to watch.

Thanks. I needed a bit of humor to brighten my day.

Trump's rallies are huge, so his parade will be huge crowds too.

Are you suggesting he (an American president) deserves a military parade? I think I have to ask because I don't want to put words in your mouth. If I misunderstood your post, I sincerely apologize.

I am not saying this to be mean, I voted Trump too. A president is a servant, a public servant, not a king. An American president is not above any of us. A military belongs to ALL of us (the American people), not a president.
