Didn’t Trump refuse to attend the dignified transfer of four Army soldiers who died during a military training mission—just to attend a Saudi-backed golf dinner with his billionaire Saudi donor buddies? This parade isn’t about honoring the Army’s anniversary. It’s 100% about boosting Trump’s ego.
Meanwhile DC is going to need to repave all the streets after.
Yep. More time and taxpayer money wasted... 😒
My DC neighborhood is hosting a small Pride celebration during Donnie's Big Boy Parade. That seems appropriate.
I heard they put metal plates down on the streets? Is that even possible?
$16 million was the cost I saw.
All those tanks can't be good for the streets.
All this for a man turning 79 years old .
Mayor B is rather ‘constrained’ to the point where she’s almost no mayor at all. Very sad state for the non state of DC to have to operate in.
They clipped her wings at the start of the administration. Sorting their backyard out for the preceding corruption and then moving onto the country.
Waste of taxpayer money.
Tuesday is even worse. There is a big show at Ft. Liberty (Bragg) that will involve live fire artillery, live bombing runs, paratroopers and special forces raids on mock villages. All paid out of the budgets of the units participating. That's money that could be used for real training
U .S. Army affairs office says $25 to $45 million That's what you're gonna pay America
A total waste!
its time we find ways to stop sending our $$$$ to the feds
Dress rehearsal for the real invasion?
And if that’s what they say, you can bet it’s going to be a lot more!
Send the bill for street repair, police overtime, etc. directly to the White House, with copies to Mike Johnson, John Thune and Pete Hegseth for their complicity.
Does that include the damage tanks will do to the streets? Or will Trump just leave the mess for someone else to clean up like he always does?
He'll have chain gangs by then to fix it.
Evidently, that’s why the estimate for parade is $25-$45M. Could be $20M in damage - almost as much as the cost of parade! Big FU to EVERYONE living & working in DC. Trump will stay at pedo paradise in FL until roads are fixed
trump never pays his bills, that will be up to someone else to worry about…EGO needs massaging regardless of cost and he has just the sycophants to make it happen…🤷
I see Teslas burning when I see all this military equipment in one place for the purpose of Cadet "Five Deferments" Bonespurs' vanity parade.
That's about 10 rounds of Trump playing golf. The absurdity of it all...
I really hoped our military would not have done this bullshit and just refused. What will TACO do to them, send ICE?
Tickets to eternal damnation are expensive these days, eh?
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if one of the tanks (the main item likely to damage the streets) got stuck and held up the rest of the parade?
I hope the federal government gave about $5 million in an escrow account to the DC government, in advance, to pay for all the potential damage
That will cost at least as much as his statue garden.
I think he wants to stockpile the tanks etc to surround himself in his WH compound before he starts the Big Plan for his coup
That’s assuming that the tanks leave DC.
^^THIS^^
Remember the armors weak underneath and his soldiers are not invincible.
It's just another stop on his revenge tour. Now he's humiliating our troops by making them put on a big show for a man that has zero respect for them.
And yet the military takes it, saying nothing, doing nothing. At what point will the military respond accordingly to this diaper wearing lunatic, or, will they, ever?
How much is all this costing taxpayer's to stroke one little man-baby's ego? 💰💰💰
Exactly. It's about boosting tfg's narcissistic grandiosity. And, we're paying for it.😡
The Army should be embarrassed by this not turning it into a fun we love our job video
Everybody must Boycott this parade, both in person and on television. Let it pass with no interest. It will destroy 🍊’s ego. If you must attend, a dress like a 🌮
I’m hoping most of us will be at our local No Kings Day demonstrations. See you Saturday. Taking my 17yo granddaughter to her first protest.
No kings day protests!
Those in charge in Admin I said No to widdle Donnie. Now that he back, and they are not. There's no one to tell him No.
Very embarrassing for the USA.
then they are loser and suckers to him. Just to deepen the wound. It's incomprehensible that ANY of them still vote for him.
Shame on the Army.
Or this parade is cover for staging a coup.
Yet another in a long line of trump-based obscenities. #fucktrump
These are really dark days is our struggle to have our democracy survive.
It's notJUST about boosting his ego - It's about pissing us off too!
Yes
Why is his flag patch upside down?
And he's setting up a garrison in DC besides
It's 100% about staging Heavy military equipment close around the capitol. Look harder and closer. I'm assuming this equipment won't be returning anytime soon. Notice Notice Notice
He likes trucks! He can’t drive but he loves to pretend.
I think this is nothing but an exercise to get major military equipment to DC so that Trump can declare Marital Law and use the US military to arrest and murder citizens.
You are correct
I think about those 4 soldiers constantly. When they went missing Christopher I checked NATO on a regular basis for any updates. My dad was a WWII Vet & eldest grandson TSgt in USAF. We are Military Family. Which means those men were our sons, too.☆
This is Trump showing Americans how he’s even managed to get our military to bow to him. Every time the MFer says “Our Country” insert. “Me!”
Will the infantry carriers be carrying infantry? Will they carry live munitions?
What a fucking waste of money, time and energy! FUCK trump!
This is North Korea 2.0
What is this ridiculous dear leader display going to cost the taxpayers of this country while GOP gripes about needing to cut spending?
It's about so much more. This is not about vanity it's about unleashed power. We are very close to him declaring martial law. Who will stop him? He has the power of the presidency. Very serious consequences to electing a sociopath.
I'd say it's 100% about Felon trying to fill his inner emptiness.
I hope they drive those tanks on the asphalt streets surrounding the White House.
What if those tanks don't leave after the parade?...
Or arming the capitol. Apparently, the proud brats were insufficient.
The treads on those tanks will ruin all the streets they travel on. Even more expense on top of everything else.
Yes! That just kills me! Trump's absence and lack of even acknowledging the servicemembers wasn't even mentioned on most MSM.
Something this guy hasn't figured out yet.
And he would NOT have the White House flag at half-staff for Jimmy Carter, a proud vet & admirable man. Made me ill. 🥹😢
He stopped attending any of them during his first term, when one of the grieving parents hurt his feelings. He went to four. Sent Pence to all others.
Our global enemies could see that day as an opportunity to execute an attack on American soil.
unfollowed..
Sharing the Army's advertisement is unacceptable.
I thought the Army said they were not going to promote this parade.
The US Army is advertising this?
I agree with you 100%. There's no if ands or buts about it.
American government seems to only care about the Constitution when is convenient for them. Second amendment was put in place for that. So the next time police, law enforcement, elected officials, judges have violence towards them and weapons used we shouldn't assume innocent second amendment..
Totally ignore it. No one attend, no one watch it. Go protest somewhere else and pretend the parade never happened.
Looks like thunderstorms next Saturday afternoon!🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I saw a few army vehicles on flatbeds yesterday on the PA Turnpike. Obviously headed to DC.
So f*cking ridiculous!
Disgusting
And instead of boosting his ego, it's only making him look like more of a worm. White maggot, in fact.
Little dick energy....
Shameful! This is not Red Square!
Pathetic
100 percent.
With is with the combat helmets?
Exactly.. further reinforcing th point that Donnie is no leader, he has no love for God n Country, or for th ppl of this country, no, rather he is just a two bit illiterate stinky diaper wearing thug who has delusions about being a powerful leader by putting on a show that feeds his ego, not ours.
Don’t forget how much we’re not talking about Jeffrey Epstein & Donold trump anymore!!! #TrumpEpstein #8647 #NAFO #Felon47 #TRE45ON #SMELLSLIKEFASCISM
I hope not one single person shows up.
Yep
So why are yall so loyal to ahole
We are going to do a no kings rally, fuck trump
If you need a military parade with tanks, troops, jets just to feel better about yourself, you have a sad, pathetic ego.
Trump illegally sends National Guard into L.A. to stir shit up — hoping for a manufactured reason to declare Martial Law. This occurs the week of his “I’m a Big Boy” Military Birthday Parade. Coincidence? HELL NO!!! Document everything! Keep cool & peaceful. And don’t forget we MUST BLOCK BILL!!!
150 military vehicles?! “For a parade”
He’s a gutless scoundrel & we all know that. Don’t believe anything that he says or does ? Intentionally escalating LA conflict 1 week before Currently bringing DC huge amount of military hardware Look at my left hand so you don’t see what my right hand is doing Trojan horse / declaration ?
I'd like to make a tag to hang around my neck " Please don't mention this American embarrassment " we'll get along fine.
WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE of TAX MONEY !!!
Good luck all you people that ha e to conduct your lives on the roads that will be torn up because of this lunacy #ImpeachTrump
All those troops on railhead.... hopefully they remember how pissed they were to have their time wasted for an orange draft dodger.
It's also a test run for another such demonstration next year, under tge guise of celebrating the 250th anniversary of our founding. Tear DC up. Repair. Repeat.
Trump thinks soldiers and veterans are suckers and losers. This is nothing more than a show of strength in his fascist wet dreams. Congressional republicans are complicit by their inaction and enabling tyranny. Resign. Impeach.
Gross

As a disabled Army vet, this just hurts so much to watch!!!
Be mindful that narcissists love negative attention as well. Any attention they can get,it boosts their ego. They can't stand being ignored or seeing others having a good time. They are notoriously known to ruin every family member's birthday and every holiday because the attention is not on them.
And it lets the army practice its hand signals for loading and unloading tanks.
Military budget can handle these unnecessary costs? Slash their budget and give to help the less fortunate.
You all still think this is for a parade? Think again.
ABSOLUTELY 👍🏻
It's amazing how effortlessly he insults our military.
With minimal pushback from leadership.
THAT
"It's better to look good than be good." Billy Crystal
"He's got to be good looking (sic) because he's so hard to see". P. McCartney
To my knowledge, Trump fired 6 Pentagon officials (generals and admirals). There remain the following top-level command officers who should, perhaps, carefully reconsider their life choices: 231 Army 62 Marine Corps 198 Air Force 162 Navy 21 Space Force
My understanding is none of the military wants to do this. Let’s hope the pushback comes when it’s needed most and that day will arrive, probably much sooner than expected.
Do you mean there is going to be shells in those tanks and they will be facing the White House? I guess a general could march down there and declare himself the new ruler with all this equipment behind him. If I was the taco, I’d get out of town. Hide out until the military pulls out.
I mean none of the military wants to do the parade. It’s an entire pain in the ass for them. This is coming from ex military personnel I’ve spoken too. Not a single one or ones who they worked with would ever want to do a parade. Lack of sleep, food, it’s just a nightmare for them.
And sickening that anyone in the military supports him.
He’s been insulting my intelligence for decades.
What is even more amazing is that the military allows him to get away with it.
Don't attend, don't watch and do go to any protests in your area!
Funny you should mention. I was just thinking, sardonically, "The military must be so proud."
Over and over.
Is it 5:00 somewhere?
🍻
This parade is about getting military assault vehicles into DC. J6 round 2
Total Trump ego trip
Sounds like a 100% waste
Remember he likes “people who weren’t captured” so I’m sure the fallen are losers to him. He wants to be a dictator not honor our troops
Will we see a Tiananmen Square-like faceoff on Constitution Avenue?
I hope it tears the shit out of the streets. Sinkholes might be fun too!
What an embarrassment!
what would happen if ALL of the officers decided not to comply? Since he has no love for them, why do his bidding??? 🤨
Well seeing what happens to tanks when they come up against Drones? They are probably only good for Birthdays and Carnivals! 🤣🤣
🎉 I can think of a thousand other ways to honor our troops and this isn't one of them.
That wasn’t honoring him, of course.
Trump also skipped a memorial for US veterans on the 100th anniversary of WW1 Because he didn't want to get his hair wet @bakerluke.bsky.social for @reuters.com in 2018
"I helped plan all of President Obama’s trips for 8 years. There is always a rain option. Always." - Ben Rhodes
"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate Donald Trump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen #hesnotfittorepresenthisgreatcountry" - Nicholas Soames, former UK Minister for the Armed Forces and grandson of Churchill
Because you think he cares?
💯
It’s WAY more than that. I doubt those tanks will go back to Texas anytime soon.
He also refused to stay and shake the hands of graduating Army officers at West Point. So he could go golfing. Again.
Or possibly his planned permanent takeover of goverment
Small dick energy
🤏🍄🟫
It's about an excuse to move troops and equipment all over the country without public concern... im fkn concerned
My paranoid theory is that the parade is an excuse to get the military into DC. He plans to declare martial law and wants to lock down the capitol. The chaos Los Angeles was created to give him a reason.
it's a testament that our military that has NOTHING to do with protecting country or constitution. they are just mindless, soulless instruments of whoever is in power. remember this; THEY DO NOT SERVE US OR REP[RESENT US
Attention DOGE, found your fraud waste and abuse
Well of course it is.
I don't think the tanks and stuff will leave DC...I think he is going to keep them there because he knows he's inciting people...deliberately.
Or keep them there to protect him when martial law is declared or midterms are rigged or canceled. He’s not planning to ever leave power.
And maybe, just maybe - it’s about bringing a lot of the equipment into DC to proceed with something MORE after the “army birthday parade” (cannot believe he actually called it what it is).
So shameful. I hope other Veterans refuse to attend or watch. This is not patriotic!
It’s always about trump….never ever about anybody but Trump!! The most malignant narcissistic sociopath in the world right now! 🤬🤬
What a waste of time, energy, manpower, and money. A parade stolen to stroke the ego of a lying seditious traitor. Who disgraces our Country with his illegal and unconstitutional acts. Trump is the last person in the Country deserved of a military parade. The most dishonorable leader in history.
Timing is all he cares about with the Army. Their 250th anniversary coincided with his birthday. He gets his parade because of kismet.
Every gun barrel, turret, rocket launcher, fixed bayonet should pivot and point directly at him while approaching, passing and leaving him behind. Every salute a warning.
If Trump wants a parade, he can sure pay for it himself. He’s made one billion per month so far off his crypto scam.
Pray for rain.
F*** that POS he doesn’t deserve this. Trump is disgusting
Besides, the two hundred fifty year anniversary is next year, isn't it? We do this again next year too?
What donny is expecting
Yep
He’s going to do it I’m afraid. The funny part of it to me is that the roads can’t handle the equipment. What if we needed it there for real? Maybe he should look into supporting our infrastructure!
He did not attend the transfer of the one that died in Hungary either.
I still say that it’s the kickoff of martial law. They’ve ramped up ICE raids in places where they know people will show up and protest. They want violence. They know that there are marches planned against his parade. They want violence. Anyone know if those tanks have ammo? They want violence.
It's also a case of staging a fuck-tonne of tanks in DC. They won't returning to Texas after the "p(ch)arade."
It's really about trying to intimidate the populace into compliance with their fascist agenda.
How to get the military into the city call it a birthday party
I’m sure Americans can spoil his fucked parade!!
Yes, he ignored the Army soldiers.
Veterans that I have spoken to are outraged!
Trump wants to boast and brag about weapons of death and destruction. Then he calls military people suckers and losers.
Stomped on the graves of soldiers for a photoshoot.
Pathetic Draft Dodger
The draft dodging isn't the problem. A lot of good people can have that monicer (Mohammed Ali for instance and by no means am I critical of his objections) but aren't the cowards that trumpy is.
They're not preparing for a military parade, they're preparing for a coup to install Donald Trump as President for life.
I believe it's his Viagra. 🤬
It's his dose of Viagra.🤬
All of Trump’s Bullshit needs to be destroyed!
This shit is what they use to do in commie Russia. That's why trump wants this parade.
I don’t understand, why are military personnel, who know better, & who know exactly what this is about, are still going forward with this sham? Don’t give me any bullshit about following orders. If the military keeps giving into Trump, they will be complicit in the illegality. Unf$&king believable.🤦🏼♀️
Having been in the military myself, I can tell you the culture is "follow orders and respect the chain of command." This blind thinking worked because our military was nearly always non-partisan and apolitical. Now suddenly, it is ALL political, but their default will still be to obey.
Unfortunately yes. However, I have to believe there are people who will stand up for the oath. The Congress has failed us, the law has failed us, and all we have left is the military.
Fingers crossed!
For a DRAFT DODGER Must be nice treating himself to a birthday party a ballroom and all the kick backs from out of country prisons on tax payers
The only way djt can get a hardon...
Of course he wouldn’t because it was not about him. I’m no longer sure he is even human.
So much of my tax money wasted on this baby man’s ego.
You know what, I don't care. You should not be spending our money on this monstrosity . You are part of the problem. Nobody is going to watch, only maggots
Exactly.
tRump also called veterans "losers and suckers." Remember, tRump also got an exemption from serving during the Vietnam War for "bone spurs."
I wouldn't watch that parade with someone else's eyeballs. He can pound a ton of sand...
Yes, we know. Everyone knows.
1000% ‼️‼️
… and an incredible waste of taxpayer’s money, you should add. People have to choose between food and rent in this country—this outrageous act of propaganda is like a slap in their faces.
If there's money for a parade, there's money for Medicaid!
Self centred, orange ass wipe! 🤮
📌 The only person that Trump ever hired, that was qualified for the job, was Stormy Daniels.👈
It's not surprising that a narcissist like Felon47 would want to honor himself with a military parade; it's what all the cool tyrants do. You must understand with whom you're dealing. DJT has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and this is how it affects his behavior.
big ego little dick
Reports are coming out Soldiers will sing "Happy Birthday to Trump"
Just as much as this is about boosting his ego what he's doing to this country in particular in Los Angeles & in New York with regards to immigration is unfathomable & definitely boosting his ego he wants to be like Putin wait till he finds out he's not going to get away with this shit ‼️🙏
So is the US Army a subsidiary of Putin’s Wagner Group now?
Yes he did. This is disgusting.
He’s wanted that parade since his first term. His birthday is on the same day as Flag Day and that birthday, not Flag Day, is what’s driving this. It’s supposed to be in honor of Donald Trump, not the flag or the Army. He doesn’t care about either of them.
Army birthday parade? WTF is that?
Any soldier forced to march in this North Korea demonstration is disgraced.
And just like those tank drivers, they won't have a choice.
If one doesn't choose a side in war, then war chooses a side for one.
And if you're a soldier that refuses an order you go to prison.
Better to suffer an unjust imprisonment in this world, than to fry in hell for all eternity. That's suffering beyond suffering. Torment beyond torment. Nothing in this world is worth eternal damnation. Nothing. What the FUCK are people thinking?
That's true. But anyone that enlisted, didn't sign up to be the axis of evil. My hope is that generals tell him to go fuck himself when they are ordered to attack America.
"Just following orders" didn't work for the Nazi's. They were hunted down, arrested, tried in a court of law and suffered their executions. God dispatched them to hell. MAGA forgot that part of the story. Same with the confederates. Hell hell hell
You know this comment thread stems from my original comment saying that Trump is disgracing any troop he forces to participate in this right?
Correct. You know, my comment supports you. Those ICE committing crimes agains God and their own honor, they won't be able to use the old "I was just following orders" defense. Didn't work for Nazi's. Won't work for nazi ICE. The ending was my favorite part last time.
…and showing off to North Korea, Russia and France.
Yup
I will NOT be watching one second of this farce. Instead I’ll make a donation to Wounded Warriors and USO. TRUMPTY DUMPTY can GFHS 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
whyy.org/articles/put...
This is ridiculous, expensive and a waste of time.
And the troops will do it gladly
It's not just about his ego. It's about furthering his goal of making the military loyal to him personally instead of loyal to the constitution. Do not trivialize what he's doing as just some personal moral failing. It's far more dangerous than that.
It's about military occupation
🤮🤬
Trump wants to be a part of the Dictators Club.
Is that an army supply clerk?
Watch the streets collapse with his embarrassing spectacle.
If inflatables in the Ghost Arny was good enough for McArthur, it's good enough for Trump parades.
Collosal waste of taxpayer money. This is the waste, fraud and abuse Doge was supposed to get rid of.
🏆
Too bad the nation's attention will be focused on the hundreds of No Kings protests all over the country.
Don’t forget, there’s a lot of Maga in the military.
Loved all the soldiers just walking not marching North Korea style. 😜
Maybe they are there to really take over DC for good. I put nothing pass him.
