blueskylady Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Can anyone on here justify the $92 million parade Trump is throwing for himself? Soooo many better uses of money. Pompeii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constitutionalist Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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 Ignatius, Polo, BillyC and 4 others 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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. etsaunt, disgruntled, busrolls36 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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. disgruntled and Jackson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskylady Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 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 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 What about all the money being wasted on senseless items that the DOGE found? A parade will cost just a fraction of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constitutionalist Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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 Polo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskylady Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
