Yeah ok.

    Or France? It will be styled after France's Bastille day parade. Its also a 1 time event to commemorate centennial anniversary of WWI.
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    Where all leaders of the war were controlled by the bankers, Germany surrendered for no reason whatsoever, sprouted the League of Nations (UN) and ultimately leading to the rise of the Third Reich and WW2, which created the state of Israel. Sounds about right for a NWO parade at taxpayer expense. Trump standing and watching a military parade, a la Hitler/Stalin/etc, sure does show that history may not repeat but it does rhyme.

    Sure seems like those books that match reality perfectly tend to be labeled "hoaxes" quite often. Our military budget is larger than the next 7-10 countries combined, yes or no? $100 million for a parade sounds like way more money than it would require, yes or no?

    I'm all for it.

    I've said for years, if I must live in a police state, and it seems that's the case for the foreseeable future, then damn it, I want a manly one, which includes giant military parades.

    Bad enough the condition that we're in, but a Grundy-esque female version of authoritarianism; of petty gripes and constant nagging and scratchy annoyances and bans on anything worthwhile, is just $#@!ing insufferable.

    Actually, there's a whole lot of truth in your post. Invert the story created for public consumption and you'll usually end up much closer to the truth and things aren't so confusing any more. Heck, even if the original story was a hoax, it's obvious that someone took it very seriously. Take a look at the federal budget, k?

    You didn't answer my questions, though.

    I hate to give Trump any advise cos I hate the man for fooling people I care for. But he can do his big military parade and in conjunction cancel the contracts of the US military with all sports leagues in the nation. The parade will be a massive entertainment attraction that would more than advertise the US military to every american family. Also, the money saved from canceling contracts would more than pay for the 1 day parade.

    Also it would be even better if he can find a way to incorporate the children into it. In Nigeria, they would have marching competitions in all public schools and the winning teams from each school comes to march in the states military square on children's day. The winning team from the state march gets to take a pic with the state's top military general and sometimes gets to ride in a helicopter. Every kid wanted to be the winner. He needs to add something like that to the agenda.

    Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. #

    Masculinity can lead to thoughts of self-reliance and liberty, I just wish citizen militias were invited to the parade.

    Too much masculinity can lead to dictators and less freedom.

    No, that comes from too little, real men don't let dictators tell them what to do if they can avoid it, they certainly don't support them.

    Sounds like a lot but maybe it's going to make America very great again, so why worry about the cost ?

    Hmm, don’t think that is the purpose. Probably to give a voice to the Patriots in this country who love this country. Also, likely it is to show a big enough crowd that the fake media won’t be able to ignore the true support the President has, that is, from the silent majority which they downplay or insult.

    Sounds like they just delayed the parade until 2019...

    "Watch the budget", does that mean the ridiculous cost is why it was delayed?

    Me too. But, a $100 million ain't so much. Trump could crowd fund/money bomb that in a day. A voluntary salute to the troops! With advance notice and social media presence 1 day, 24 hrs., tops.
