You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

I feel like there’s good odds these days that Trump has them whip up some sort of Commander in Chief uniform.
Lots of medals, Soviet or N Korean style, scrambled eggs on the hat, big sash and a sword
Resplendent with a Purple Heart medal to honor his bone spurs.
Only one?
Well, on reflection, I suppose five Purple Hearts, one for each deferment would be more appropriate. You're right. Might as well go all out.
Rubber pants... Trumps a leaker.
OMG! I will need restraints and sedation if this happens. Not necessarily in that order.
Like this? Let’s all hope his diaper is on nice and tight.
Yep, with a shitload of medals he's not entitled to wear...
I was just about to say that!
🤣🤣 I hope it's his makeup team. They hate him
In the classic tinpot dictator style
"And don't make me look fat!"
Idi Amin Trump, coming soon.
Trump has made me think of Idi Amin more than once.
Idi Amin and Benito Mussolini. All three pretty much the same.
Is nobody going to post that HOT Kid Rock outfit
I posted yesterday I won’t be surprised if Trump appears in uniform decked out in medals.
Any day now.
In the words of Elvis Costello, “Who takes all the glory and none of the shame”
All of the glory...none of the aptitude.
Do you know song title or album title?
I think about that song a lot, for reasons
Same
unfair comparison: Zhukov actually earned his flair
🤣
Will he inspect his saluting troops from the comfort of a golf cart?
The uniform will be like one an African dictator would wear with all the metals
With gold fringed epaulets and made up medals.
I would like to make it clear that I have been predicting uniforms, probably with epaulets, for him or his praetorian guard, for months now.
Nixon did it first.
medals...
JD Vance entering the building...
To be fair, Georgy Zhukov earned his medals commanding the entire Red Army through WWII. (That movie "The Death of Stalin" is great.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dea...
Oh yes! That's next
And one of those big-ass North Korean mushroom general hats. Here's a rough depiction:
They look like girl scouts who are really good at knots and cookie sales.
With long red ties that go down past their belts and more medals than Simone Biles & Michael Phelps combined.
He wants that AF1 tout suite.
Same. I was saying it the last time he wanted a military parade.
Well, he’s throwing himself one for his birthday
Yep. Totally tracks
"Make it tremendous, I want--make it better than John McCain's unifo--he was so nasty to me--they call it--captured, okay? And it's an old fashioned word, captured--but you look at John McCain--and he was Navy, okay? Not so tough, right? You look at--but my uniform is tremendous, quite frankly."
Perfect uniform for our clown and chief
Fucking hate him
#EatTheRich
But Kennedy can move into a new home in Washington DC that cost him millions all because his wife wants to be in Washington so she can keep an eye on him! Millions! These people are in admin. Just to make money!!!!
The idea of the president throwing himself a birthday parade, even if it cost nothing, is abhorrent-something only a narcissist would do.
he so wants N. Korea style missiles going down the DC esplanade and they turn and salute him...he's like a little kid play w toy soldiers...it's just vile and disgusting...
🍆🤏
Can you just imagine the hillbillies and the boomers standing on the side lines wearing those ugly flag clothes with their bellies hanging out. Hope they bring all their guns, get drunk and try to go crash the White House.
I don’t mind if he does it, as long as he pays for it himself. The problem is, he’s always freeloading.
USG is Trump's cash cow and he loves nothing better than to rip it off at every turn...it brings him joy. the sick bastard...
I mind - it’s the perception.
He should have it in Dallas !! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Yes. Freeloading/ massive corruption is his m.o.—but even if he does ‘pay’ for it, he will have an ROI for feeding his ego with a military tribute that would symbolically ally the military with him and stomping D.C. by imposing costs for damage to the roads & $$ for repairing the infrastructure.
Just to feed his ego.
Just another nail in his coffin. I would not want to be him for all Elmo and Zuck and Jeff’s money combined.
Didn’t this get scrapped last time around?
I remember hearing something about the tanks he wanted causing damage to the roads. Plus, we had actual guardrail types around him back then.
Can someone please do it already 😭😭
Hid cultists love this sort of bullshit.
He needs help getting it up.
"there's a sucker born every minute." PT Barnum
Waste fraud and abuse is in the white house!
tenor.com/view/what-th...
If all goes well it could be his last birthday party for the rest of our lives.
A $100 million dollar birthday parade plus a $200 million propaganda add campaign starring Kristi Noem warning immigrants to leave.
Yep. Was thinking the exact same thing.
Republicans were in office.
Except for the 1980 recession, the President was a Republican when the recessions started. Reagan was elected in the fall of 1980
So the USA is now going to freeload off other countries medical discoveries like he accuses others?
It’s not the country doing this, it’s one fucking vile human being that no one will say no to
Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on. C’mon people, let’s be Real! The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
He’s so narcissistic - he doesn’t even deserve a Carvel birthday cake!
How utterly humiliating for the U.S. Military to have to perform in this clown parade just to make dear leader feel like one of the Big Dick-tators. Personally, I would be going AWOL first
Jokes on them, they fired the parade people.
Carpe these nuts. Fuck that pile of human shit.
YOLO!!
This di Watership parade should be canceled. If not, protesters should have pictures of all the children who are paying g for it through the loss of services.
The US is not the richest country, they are in depth since Nixon took the dollar of the gold price. They have been loaning and spending more than any other country. Now they are bankrupt, an orange idiot is breaking down the last opportunities. I used to love the US. That time has passed.
Or something big happened a year ago, and we missed it?
Letting Trump handle the economy is like giving matches and a gun to a 3 yr old, bad shits going to happen
So which do you think Republicans believe, childhood cancer cure or Billionaires tax cutes? A: Billionaire tax cute, cause well, who is more important, kids lives or tax cuts for Billionaires!
I cannot fathom any individual in world history that deserves a military parade any less than Trump. Multiple draft dodger and thinks of veterans as suckers and losers - “what’s in it for them?” Truly nauseating.
Is this the “Let them eat cake” phase of this disastrous administration?
If Trump had to pay for that parade himself, there'd be one guy playing a violin, and a half a pound cake, and he'd stiff the violinist. while some MAGA"S might show up, there'd be ten million protestors also. Trump would say it was beautiful and the people loved the best presidest ever.
🤣💦Right!👍💦
It does produce a perfect situation to seriously protest there.
I wanted to do that! I’d carry a fake sign and underneath it will be what I want to display!Too bad it’s drone free!🤦🏼♀️
I’d really like the U.S. military to show us their version of the ‘Sadat Parade’.
Boycott the Korean parade. Boycott the Butcher’s parade. Withhold your federal taxes. DO NOT PAY the Butcher.
He could pay with the 2.4B he cashed out of stocks the day before his tarrifs announcement.
??
Trump wanted a big old military parade during his last administration but the military shot it down. Hegseth is all in on this…you know it. From 2018⬇️ amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/08/...
All about him, always.
The worst thing about this is that it’s all about satisfying his malignant ego.
Hopefully the marchers will sneak in some live rounds
This might be the biggest victory for American's in years though....we'll see how it all unfolds.
Can't think of anything more to add. Thank you.
This is how I see him in any and all situations. Although, I have read pigs are smart and social, so apologies to real pigs everywhere
He’s showing restraint. $100m is only like 3 weekends of golf or 2 nascar trips. A bigly party would be at least $500m
All a matter of priorities. Remember somebody is said to be stating "l'État c'est moi"?
It's truly obscene. The amount of money this country has is enormous and again, obscene. That schools are scratching for funding, health care cost is outrageous and devastating. That science is being defunded. Veterans can't get the care they need. It's all shameful.
obscene is exactly the right word for it!
What if the rest of us showed up in DC with pitchforks and torches?
He's forgotten how many explosives and firearms he and his family spent 10 years marketing to Americans including children ThePeople have more firepower than some nations army's. And ammo in 50 rd mags is purchased daily in abundance due to his own actions
I do not want my taxes paying for this shit show
Make this idea go VIRAL and the 99% can start making a real impact in the right direction. Lets FIGHT this! Weekly F U Groups to research and send in documents to investigate tax issues, disbar lawyers/reps, sue them. bsky.app/profile/unit... RESHARE with friends on ALL platforms
I just feel like it’s another opportunity to make it bad for him by 1) no one showing up like for his inaugural parade, or 2) EVERYBODY showing up with protest signs and maybe
He’s so stupid
Think of it. Bone Spurs draft dodger demanding a military parade for himself.. He didn't even go to Dover, AFB to honor the 4 dead soldiers. Lithuania did. No he was playing golf. What a disgrace and what a waste of taxpayers' money for a convicted felon and draft dodger. It's really sick.
Not if you’re the same guy who stole money from a charity named for you, that researched childhood cancer.
Shows us all where his “values” lie.He was responsible for over400,000 needless deaths during Covid because he put his political agenda first.Now we see he is again responsible for millions of deaths that are occurring here & around the world, because of his greed, narcissism, & deadly selfishness.
This is an amazing opportunity to turn the whole parade route into a spectator protest.
Nope that’s what he wants
Him & hegseth don't have a medal between them . Smfh
BOYCOTT THE TRUMP PARADE!!!!
Stalin come to mind
Is there any protests scheduled for the entire month of Jun? I heard the golf course guy was looking for a launcher, isn’t he a Republican? Who in their right mind would celebrate the loser Kim style?
Hopefully no one watches the facist parade.
Will there be goose-stepping? Bet he would like that.
I hope there is a float of admirals that were fired and veterans that lost benefits too...
DJT has his priorities which you obviously don’t understand! By having his little military parade he is projecting strength to the world and in the game of 4D Chess we will need it. He is going to annex Panama, Canada,Greenland, Gaza and take the mineral wealth of Ukraine with his buddy Putin!
A dictators birthday.
Absolutely agree! Birthday parades, taxpayer funded golf trips are the real Waste, Fraud, and Abuse that show the “But the deficit” for the lie it is
Does DOGE know about this? And after his penile enhancement parade that will probably ruin roads and snarl up traffic, who foots *that* bill?
Why do I feel like he never read about the French Revolution or the parade that lead to Robespierre being…um… ex-Robespierred.
And why hasn’t DOGE vetoed this totally unnecessary ego massaging stupidity, we are not living, as yet, are we in a totalitarian regime?
So are they going to run tanks down DC streets?
And if Biden did this? 🙄
When I taught junior high, many parents spoiled/bribed their kids by buying them stuff they didn’t need- and yet expected the school to provide the necessities like food, counseling, school supplies, etc.
GREAT POINT...where's the Doge of Washington...a birthday military parade is a perfect example of DICTATORSHIP, WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE...
I met an old chieftain to a local community of tribes!I learned many things including rain dance(yes🙋🏼♀️did!) moves!I’m disabled now but the pain would be worth it🤣💦Like the mother of all squalls!Maybe chemtrail“seed’g”of stormclouds nearby to help make it strong gale force winds My daughter dances too
He’s a Putin wannabe, full of fake medals, uniform and military parades….
Luxembourg is the richest country in the world, but you still make a good point.
It would be a real shame if we turned that into the biggest protest with everyone holding the signs like "Deport Donald for Fraud Waste and Abuse" or any of the amazingly creative ones we saw last weekend. Bravo! Or what if no one showed up or we had an event somewhere else?
No….unless the protests are held somewhere different, or he will claim crowd size….
Great idea. So nobody is there to watch his bs!
Good luck getting anywhere near the parade if you're not a certified MAGA.
Who cares if you're next to it. Just the showing up part.
My hope is the streets are empty.
🤞
let them eat nothing worked out for the french people in the end
🦋This...☝️🖕☝️🖕☝️🖕☝️
Or building massive multi-billion dollar internment camps.
He’s going to say 1. he’s paying for it himself or 2. donors are. 1. He’ll never pay 2. They should be ashamed for giving the money to him and not to childhood cancer research.
Carpe diem indeed. Carpe Karma?
Hey, 79 is a big deal, right? Gotta play with your toys!
maybe he thinks he should get it now, he may not make it to 80.
Viagra would be much cheaper.🙄
Viagra,cheap underage looking white hookers on tons of antibiotics for their added protection,cheeseburger flavored condoms,a doctor who can provide aid,lies about how great he is,&it’s not a🍄!Oh beautician for hair/Cheeto spray-still cheaper-up his old perv alley!How about we AI generate a parade🤷🏼♀️💦
Still stealing from kids with cancer.
Well, it is their family tradition.
How can you be the richest when behind the curtain you owe more than you produce? Math doesn’t add up. Thank Nixon, Reagan and Bush 2, but you have to hand it to this turd. Gee what do they all have in common??..🤔🤔..
Do not show up! Stay home. Do not give him an audience. He just wants to be like China and other countries' dictators and force his military to parade in front of him as if he owned them. DO NOT LET HIM OWN YOU. Stay away from the area completely. There are bound to be trouble makers there.
my hope is that IF he goes thru with this stupid parade, NOBODY attends. And, just food for thought, musky makes $8 mil in one day which is more than the NIH spends on childhood cancer research in 1 year.
(Also if nothing else we don't do freaking tank parades in DC partly cause in some cases by design they would fall through the pavement or just into the DC Metro tunnels. )
bsky.app/profile/patr...
He’s going to pocket that money, just like he did with the inaugurations - which he has never been charged with.
So true
I say that we bill him for it,&if he doesn’t want to pay,then we audit him,freeze/hack his assets until he does!Call ANONYMOUS FOR HELP!There’s a hacker for every job looking to unfuck this shitshow & reset the world🌎 from these dumbass scumbags🙋🏼♀️🙏🏻💙🇺🇸
💯🥰
I hope EVERYONE gives him so much shit about it and people refuse to participate - especially the military since he is gutting the VA program. He needs to start paying the consequences for his actions like Musk is currently
He doesn’t care about what people think about him.
He wants to make his birthday a national holiday.
He wanted that parade first term but was told it’s too expensive. When he visited London he wanted to ride in the Queen’s gold carriage but was told no.
It works because he neglects his own kids and puts everyone else’s children in danger
Also because gorillionaires are quite overrepresented in the "people who fuck kids" demographic.
But it's never about us, despite his comments. It's all for self aggrandizement. His brand matters above all others, including that of the USA.
The way these billionaires are behaving and running the government just reaffirms money isn’t everything. It’s quite sad honestly.
And 77 million of his cult will be there fully regaled cheering him on as their savings are depleted, social security wiped out, not able to afford food and shelter.
GREAT POINT Schooly! That’s what he spends in 3weeks of golf tho right?
like a greedy little fat kid, eating cake and being hateful sounds like a blast
He'll probably charge to attend
The way it works is very simple. If a part of the government is not of personal benefit to trump it gets axed. Reseach not of personal benefit to trump gets axed. ITS A GOVERMENT OF TRUMP FOR TRUMP.
Yep, the presidency was never anything other than his own ego stroking.
All that comes to mind is 🔪
Priorities, priorities.
He's got to do it now. He may be gone next year.
The idea that Private Bone Spurs, who called them suckers and losers, who didn’t attend the 4 dead servicemen rtning from Lithuania, who disrespected McCain, is getting a bday military parade is grotesque.
You just don't understand the genius.
But, it must go on! Because he REALLY wants the cake and balloons. We don’t want to disappoint the little guy.
We need protests at the bday parade.
I grew up in a system that celebrated yearly its dear leader's birthday. They would take us out from school and line up on sidewalks along where the parades would march. It was just as summer was starting, hot. We would be thirsty, tired, and we had to wear our uniforms and wave our red bandanas.
Let them eat (birthday) cake
It's unfathomable, our priorities in this country are so offensive.
Better not be 1 iota of taxpayer money in there!
And I'm just waiting for the proposal to change the Amercian flag to something with his picture on it
Well we are weak...we are led by a doddering old man in a diaper.
Can Americans Please pay attention to a smart guy Who was Actually a Military Leader ?
No. Americans only care about hate now.
No, not all Americans. Half of the country are peace loving good people that want no part of this regime, and this is why we’ve taken to the streets protesting this horrid beast.
Yeah, we are protesting. And half of us did vote against it. But I ain’t blaming the world for feeling that our elected representatives are representative of what we are. We’re a death cult. They need to react accordingly
I blame those who refused to vote and take a stand one way or the other..
You can. I’m still going to blame the death cult and the death cult representatives. But we are what we are, and currently we are represented by a xenophobic death cult.
“now”
It does have more popular appeal this decade than the the last couple.
Yeah, but I’d say that’s tactical more than logistical — the southern strategy worked, the nixon presidency was popular even as the guy got booted out of office; IMO it has been a waiting game since then
For this alone one could like Ike. Not to crazy about his early treatment of WWI veterans, but he likely made amends once at the top.
😖 nothing on this planet will ever make me think favorably upon any president in U.S. history.
Well, there was that whole Normandy thing that impeded ascendant Nazis. But a lot of folks were still on the side of Nazis back then. Such alignment cost those folks dearly, as well their progeny, for some 80 years in certain places where the sordid affiliation is still embraced in textbooks, yes?
Oh, most certainly.
Anyone wondering what the Republican Party used to look like, here’s your guy. *heavy sigh*
Does Congress have to appropriate funding for this spectacle?
I don’t think this will go over really well when we’re in a recession.
That parade is the main reason, aside from staying out of jail, that he wanted the job.
Only "parade" he deserves is a firing squad. And he loves firing...
At least we can show up and throw rotten tomatoes at him.
I would like to see people stay away and have such low attendance numbers that Trump never has another parade in his own honor. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Obviously there will be cake
When I was a kid childhood leukemia was a death sentence. It is now 90% curable with timely diagnosis. Research saves lives.
🥲saved lives
At a time when so many neurological disorders are epidemic, we need research more than ever. Research compliments each other.
Disgusting man.
at least 100,000 people with "General Bonespurs" placards lining the route, or just give up now. really, this is comedy gold you just don't get handed every day.
And flying to your decrepit castle every weekend to win a fake golf trophy
While he sends Hogsbreath to greet the returning soldiers. Such a gutless pig.
He’s beyond obscene criminal fraudulent;he’s now in white entitled tiny prick overcompensating for his revenge on US for wanting him prosecuted-he’s already adjudicated rapist,defamationsuit loser,hushmoney-corporate fraud convicted felon total business loser freak who got the job to steal for GOP🤦🏼♀️💦
All so true
Well actually if the military was out in force there would be no better opportunity to surround the house and make donnie crawl down to the front lawn on his knees and arrest his shriveled orange treasonous ass!
You forgot - federal budget also is paying for weekly flights to Florida for golf vacations!!!
Disgusting
Elon’s cracked up team, I’m sorry crack team of experts in all things fraudulent couldn’t find this one? Strange all us non-experts found it with no effort.
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social WHO is going to make noise about this!? Considering all the cuts, sorrow and pain being caused; and he throws himself a 100 million dollar parade!?
The obscene thing is he’d easily get sponsors that want to suck up to pay for it, and the cancer research would still get screwed.
It worked out well for Anwar Sadat
Who is supposed to attend that parade? Because I want a ghost town.
He certainly is making his priorities known.
The second thing isn't in spite of the first thing. The first thing is opening up the finances to do the second thing. They aren't finding waste, fraud, and abuse. They're *funding* waste, fraud, and abuse.
50k protestors show up and plant themselves in front of his reviewing stand. What's he going to do? Like this but x 50k
Don't kid yourself. Trump would order them to be killed and the MAGAs would love it.
Nah, we should have our own parade somewhere else and compare the turnout. A bigger turnout would drive him green.
BTW does the cost include the ripped-up roadways and the business lost as the roads are repaired?
I think he should have the worst party ever… with a million + protesters
Possibly the funniest way to stage a military coup for a suddenly very smol birthday boy, tho. Parade grinds to a halt alongside the inspection platform, tank turrets slowly rotate and the Secret Service are like nope you're on your own, man.
Brilliant
It’s like satirizing the cruelty of Tianamen, but this time for the good of the world. It is a really sticky-in-the-mind subject, these past few months. I think a lot about Tank man and how he’s unnamed. I wish we knew his name.
Worked in Egypt.
I’d need a cigarette after if that ever happened. Just saying.
Doo gooo on... 😃
Agreed, but one change suggested. Change the last sentence to read ‘ nope you're on your own, old man.’
Sir would work, too. Great strong men, of course, with tears in their eyes, but in *no* fucking mood to try & get between Trump and a 120mm shell.
Happiest of birthdays 😂
It would truly be everyone's birthday that day.
Independence Day 2.0
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍊💩🤡💀
Now THAT would be cause for celebration!
If it's not them it needs to be us
Any soldier who shows up for this parade deserves to have crap thrown at them. Under the UCMJ, you can refuse an unlawful, and immoral order. Something about spending $90 million of tax payer money to throw yourself a parade doesn’t sit well with me.
alternative: any serviceperson against all this shit could get together with like-minded folk and organize behind the scenes and at the very least cause massive intentional chaos via everyday small actions now what I'd REALLY like them to do, perhaps should not be stated plain text so openly 😀
We are on the same page.
A Trump supporter I knew died right after he got elected, and one of the last bits of news she would've heard about was Trump cutting cancer funding. Leopards ate her fucking face alright...
The civilized world looks on, aghast. Meanwhile, 'Merica fights about retreating to the 18th Century or how quickly it should happen.
The all American orange buffoon.
More like arcum fisci rapere. (seize the treasury)
First time I've thought about the price tag. These people burn through money.
Maybe he’ll stage another assassination attempt.. oh wait..
Yup, I was wondering when the parade would come.
The US hasn't been the richest country in the world for a while now.
USA not even close... gfmag.com/data/richest...
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
Wonder if the rest of the Politburo will arrange themselves on the viewing stand? 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I fucking knew he was gonna do the Kim Jong Un Birthday Revue. On our dime. And leave DC to fix the roads afterward. I still have good money on the DC Dear Leader showing up in the reviewing stand in his brand-new Generalissimo uniform.
Also, with American families still homeless from floods, fires and tornados all over America, there must not be any thought of any BS parade for Trump.
Dear Leader wants his parade.
Not to mention the weekly golf vacations in Florida
Is that parade really a thing?!?
Let Trump pay for that parade!
Try a nation that kills it’s own citizens to placate their elites.
History will record this as an incredible descent from the most powerful country in the world to third world dictatorship. I can't wait to read the definitive analysis of what caused it and how it was allowed to happen.
If the universe is kind, maybe a funeral procession instead.. also a cause for celebration.
Which is more likely: 1) They're trying to save money but doing it in a stupid way, or 2) They're purposefully throwing America into chaos and destruction to cause an emergency, cancel elections, and install a dictatorship? Just asking . . .
He's gonna finally get his military parade, isn't he? And in his bday. 😡🤢🤮
youtu.be/ee7uBc2IZvs?...
If that jag off makes our military do the goose step march I’m gonna lose my sh!t
Aholes gonna ahole.
🙌🏻
Wouldn't it be better if it were a funeral? Then we would party!
Will the ghost of Anwar Sadat be attending the military parade?
