Trump Wants a Military Parade in DC
And, awaaaaaaaaay we go .........
President Donald Trump has instructed government officials to start planning for a massive military parade to take place in Washington, D.C., sometime this year, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
The Pentagon confirmed the Post’s report on Tuesday. “We are aware of the request and are looking at possible dates,” Pentagon spokesman Charlie Summers told reporters, according to NBC.
Trump, who has never served in the armed forces and avoided the Vietnam War draft on account of bone spurs, has long dreamed of showing off the United States’ military prowess in a large public display.
After he won the presidential election, Trump’s staff confounded officials by asking the Pentagon to send photographs of military tactical vehicles that he might include in his inaugural parade.

Trump loves the military.
Just not enough to actually serve in it when his nation needed him,,,,,,,

And there's more ............. he expects the troops to salute him as they march by. The cost is estimated to be 22 million dollars, plus the repairs to Pennsylvania Ave. as the tanks chew it up.

Re: Trump Wants a Military Parade in DC
Money saving idea:
Let's parade about six boy scouts down Pennsylvania Ave.
Then we can have Kellyanne and Sarah Huckaboo go on TV and tell Trump and Co that it was the largest military parade in history>
