Glorious Leader Cancels Overpriced Military Parade

Politico reporting, if you were looking forward to watching President Donald Trump’s much-balleyhooed military parade later this year, you’re going to have to keep waiting:

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has canceled plans for a military parade in Washington, and ignited a feud with the D.C. mayor after accusing “local politicians” of price gouging.

“The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up!”

CNBC reported Thursday that the expected cost of Trump’s planned parade had ballooned to $92 million, significantly higher than previous estimates of $12 million and $30 million.

All three estimates were sums better spent elsewhere, but once we started approaching the cost of a new F-35 fighter plane just to gratify Donald Trump’s ego it was definitely time to rethink the whole thing. Not to mention the lack of any recently-won wars to celebrate, but that wasn’t going to be a problem for the President!

If Donald Trump really wants a Make America Great Again parade, he should pick up the tab.

Military Parades and ability to hold them interpreted by global community as signs of leader’s virility and masculinity, sources say. pic.twitter.com/imEEQPIh6A

if he can't have a parade in DC, perhaps he'd consider a trip. Might be able to get in an afternoon round of golf, too.

No parade until the war in Afganistan is won. Which means no parade ever.
