Why?

[blueskylady]

Can anyone on here justify the $92 million parade Trump is throwing for himself?  Soooo many better uses of money.

[Constitutionalist]

So according to your post, one of two things is true. 
 

1. you are a trump hater 

or

2. you just read what the MSM headlines say. 

taking a quick 2 minutes to research this you will find the following. 

trump is NOT throwing HIMSELF a parade. The parade is for the 250th anniversary of the USArmy. That doesn’t deserve a huge celebration? Wait until next year when America celebrates the semi quincentennial

I think we need to take pride in our military and I agree with the parade.  Our might will be on display for the world to see.  I think they need to see it.  I'm proud of our military.  Members of my family have proudly served over the years from WW2 to present.  President Trump doesn't even take a salary.  He's not looking to waste money.

[Petee]

How would it be if we threw a parade for all of those who do not fight for and die for our country.  How do you think we got here!  It took a lifetime of sacrifice and genetic lines that were totally destroyed by that fight.  So leave everyone in sadness and loss of faith, just forget them.  Has a party never boosted your spirits and got everyone moving toward a goal meant for everyone?  Do you only want distress every day? How could you deny a celebration of joy for those who protect us by giving away their lives, body parts, families, all for a future for your grandchildren even if it means they will never have any?  Good grief.  Hating Trump is closing your eyes and spitting into the wind. You'll be covered in hate forever.  Have fun.

[blueskylady]

Nope.....you can still honor and celebrate without all the wasteful extravagance a parade would incur.  I love my country and am proud of our military. But with all the budget cuts to agencies that help our most vulnerable....children, veterans, and the elderly,  I can't think that a huge parade will help them AT ALL.  I would rather these groups get the help needed with the money being used for this spectacle.  If you were in one of the above groups, would you rather watch a parade, or perhaps have better housing, needed medication or ample food.  A lot can be provided with 92 million, just not a parade.

[Polo]

What about all the money being wasted on senseless items that the DOGE found?  A parade will cost just a fraction of that.

[blueskylady]

How about it?  Yes...waste is waste.  Why add to it with this parade?

[Constitutionalist]

Better not be having any parties at your house this summer! No get togethers.. better not be attending any festivities around the area and supporting the spending occurring with your tax dollars. Waste is waste. So you better not take part in any of it! Sit at home with your cats and be miserable like the Karen you obviously are! Our country needs something to bring everyone together!

First off the 92 million price tag ytou are referring to was actually a parade that was brought up in 2018 and was shot down by the President as being to expensive then.

As of now there are no plans for a parade but that could change.

From snopes

"Trump had planned a parade during his first term in 2018 and canceled it, after U.S. officials told The Associated Press that the parade could cost up to $92 million, a number that other officials disputed. Trump claimed he canceled the parade himself after accusing the local government of price gouging. "

************************************

So as of now there are no official plans on a parade does that mean they will not have one. Who knows but that 92 million you quoted was for something back in 2017/2018

 

 

[blueskylady]

I love a parade!  Just not wasteful spectacles that take away from the deserving.  I can have get togethers also because I pay for it...nothing is taken away from anyone and it will be a great time.  Still no answer on how having the parade and wasting 92 million dollars while others suffer because they are vulnerable.  There are many ways to celebrate and honor our country without depriving others.  I wonder how many veterans would rather watch a parade than having proper medical care?  You could go the VA and poll them....let me know your findings.

Ofcourse you don’t mention the EO order that was signed to create a national center for homeless veterans using the funds that were previously used for illegals. Go back to petting your cats

And that is great!  But imagine what 92 million MORE could do. It's really not hard.

you’re so hung up on the 92 million.. that was 7 years ago… can you show where in 2025 he wants to spend that on a parade? Or can you only provide headlines you see from fake news

I wonder what the final cost of the liberal parade across our borders will be.

It's a "transfinite" number.

[blueskylady]

And now we have a flying palace that will take millions to convert and maintain ....I wonder who will pay for that?....

The illegal invaders will pick fruit and sell drugs to maintain the FREE jet right after they slap their wives.

[blueskylady]

Funny ...but still no justification for the jet.  At least he didn't wear a tan suit though

FREE gift

Rude to refuse it.

[blueskylady]

I'm sure it was given with much thought....and with what they will ask in return some day.  Much better to be rude than beholden to them.  Besides, he's been rude soooo many times before....this will be nothing to him.

[fedup]

If they decided to get rid of the man by using a new rope, some people would b1tch because they didn't use a old rope.

It must be living hell to live in your world. 

[blueskylady]

I quite enjoy my life...Still no justification for the plane.  I don't think rope costs 90 million and millions more to upkeep.  I do b**** about misuse of power....but then again Trump is Quatar's b**** now.  God Bless America!
