The article criticizes President Trump for organizing an extravagant military parade on his birthday, disguised as a celebration for the U.S. Army’s anniversary. Despite the official narrative, it argues that the event primarily serves to boost Trump's ego at the expense of taxpayers. Estimated costs of the parade range from $25 million to $45 million, with skepticism about these figures due to the military's history of budget overruns. The writer emphasizes the absurdity of prioritizing such a display over fiscal responsibility.
"This Saturday, June 14, dozens of military aircraft, hundreds of armored vehicles, and thousands of U.S. troops will descend upon Washington, D.C., to take part in a parade."
"There were no plans for such a military parade before Trump personally intervened weeks ago in the planning of the celebration of the Army's 250th year."
